The ongoing exhibition, 'Not Good at Human', of Polly Borland’s photography at Sullivan+Strumpf, Sydney, ends December 23, 2016.Borland intends things to be difficult to look at; her photographs are contradictorily beautiful and disturbing, reminiscent of traditional portraiture with a nod to the surreal. They display a fascination with people, explore private questions of identity from the inside out, as they turn her lens on the complex and ineffable. Experiencing these images is at once deeply engaging and somewhat repelling, as though Borland’s has exposed our deepest self-doubts for all to see. Before focusing on art projects, Borland shot regularly for numerous UK and US publications including The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Independent and Dazed and Confused. 'Not Good at Human' is Borland’s first solo gallery show in Sydney.The exhibition is on view at Sullivan+Strumpf, 799 Elizabeth St Zetland, Sydney NSW Australia.
