Closing this weekend, don't miss out! In her most recent series There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble in the trees, Perth-based photographer Rebecca Dagnall presents the landscape as a place of pure imagination. In these cleverly constructed pictures, the suburban park has become a dimly-lit place of nocturnal strangeness. Dagnall's beautiful landscapes draw on the imagery and aesthetics of heavy metal culture and the subconscious, giving rise to a powerful suburban iconography.

Rebecca Dagnall has twice been shortlisted for the prestigious William and Winifred Bowness Photography Prize (2009 and 2010).

MAPh acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong People, and recognises their continuing connection to the land and waterways.

We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
