Jeremy Blincoe is a Melbourne based photographer renowned for his representations of youth, the environment and indigenous issues. His latest series, Ephemeral Memory, highlights the struggle of indigenous people to retain their ancient culture and traditions, while forging a new identity in modern day Australia.
Using a combination of on-location and studio photography, Blincoe’s images establish a dialogue between the subject and natural environment, provoking the viewer to consider their position on indigenous issues.
Subjects are floating in mid-air or clinging to elements of the landscape, inviting the viewer to question whether they are oppressed or liberated; tethered or unbound.
Blincoe was born in New Zealand and came to Melbourne in 2008. His previous exhibitions include Fleeting Embrace (2011) and Wonder and Wander (2010) at Lindberg Galleries, Melbourne where he is represented.
