“Dressing Down”
Juile Vinci
17 June → 2 July 2005

Dressing Down is a series of digital photographic works by Julie Vinci focusing upon items passed down over generations.

Vinci’s work concentrates upon the role of women in society and within familial structures. The act of passing on objects from one generation to the next provides continuity in a changeable world, and these objects, though un-appealing and often seemingly mundane in a modern aesthetic, become desirable objects of cultural memory.

Dressing Down explores the ideas of actual and cultural memory, comparing the two and discovering how, over time, they may become the same.
