Dark Chamber is a new exhibition of pinhole photography opening at Dimbola Lodge on 1st April 2011. 

In a world dominated by digital manipulation and the instant delete button, the photographs in Dark Chamber are a simple expression of people’s desire to regain the mystery of photography as expressed in many computer and mobile applications offering analogue effects.

Despite its charm, Dark Chamber is not a romance with times gone by, but a conscious decision by the artists to embrace limitation, thus forcing an engagement with the subject and conscious intent that is highly unlikely to occur using a digital camera. 

The exhibition brings together a selection of photographs by Billy Childish, Nhung Dang, Wolf Howard and David Wise.
