About the Artwork
Rosie Hastie delves into the dual nature of threat and illusion within photographic scenes, resonating with familiarity akin to even the most casual Tasmanian gift shop encounters. However, they are far from real. Through meticulous yet transient recreations, Hastie prompts contemplation on the fragility and deceptive permanence of these sites. She challenges us to acknowledge that these places merit safeguarding beyond mere visitation and image documentation before they vanish entirely into the realm of the imagination.
