Open
๐Ÿ–ผ Each fortnight we ask one of our staff to select a work from the collection. This week, Penrith Performing & Visual Arts' Marketing Manager, Malvina Tan, shares about one of her favourite works from our collection! I was tossing up between a few different works from the collection, but eventually I was drawn towards Greg Semuโ€™s Leaupepe Family, Campbelltown. The work might seem mundane at first, but it goes beyond a photograph of just a family and I find that extremely captivating and beautiful. I wonder about their stories - who are they, how are they related, are they even related, how were they when this photograph was taken, where are they now, how do they live now, what was on their plates, were they at a regular family dinner, do they still eat the same food, do they still have meals together? And the list goes on. I love the domestic nature of this photograph, and that even through a still image, I have a strong desire to find out more about their bonds, the human connections and experiences they have amongst each other. The idea that what might seem monotonous and ordinary at first glance but yet has so much to offer, speaks volumes. As a performance artist, I am currently working on a performative project exploring different recipes and types of comfort food in an attempt to find significance in the everyday, and to use food to preserve memories of home. It has been quite the journey with this project as it started from a place of grief, then to a time when I wasnโ€™t able to be โ€œhomeโ€ while still being โ€œhomeโ€, and now. Gregโ€™s work is incredibly inspiring to me, my work and my current state of work-in-progress, as I try to break down each recipe, ingredient and method, while reflecting on memory, time, parallelisms and the uncanny. Penrith Regional Gallery acquired this artwork, alongside seventeen other photographic portraits from Greg Semuโ€™s Aussie Aiga series, a body of works documenting families from the Western Sydney Samoan community in 2008. These were exhibited alongside an energetic engagement program for the Strictly Samoan exhibition at Penrith in 2008. *See artwork credit and read more about Aussie Aiga in comments section below.
