You Must Go On. I Can’t Go On. I’ll Go On

Sam Doctor

11 Sep–31 Oct 2018

Sam Doctor's practice ruminates metaphorically on humanity’s fragile relationship to the environment and the potential or aftermath of catastrophe.

"In my work, I investigate desecrated and violated landscapes, and the effects of Technology and Industry has had on deprived social communities. This current body of work was produced by documenting landscapes within the exclusion radioactive zone of Fukushuma in Japan. I explore the emotional, spiritual and psychological states that landscape can provoke, my work shares an affinity to landscape where nature is imbued with a pregnant sense of aesthetic and spiritual potentiality. This spirituality is not be thought of in terms of institutionalised religion, rather in my work it might be an artistic act of devotion that seeks to penetrate what Henri Bergson called the E'lan Vitale, the imponderable creative force of life and nature."

This program takes place on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded - this land is stolen land. We pay respects to Wurundjeri Elders, past, present and emerging, to the Elders from other communities and to any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders who might encounter or participate in the program.
