Main Exhibition Gallery
For the exhibition, A Small Town at the Turn of the Century, Gill produced a series of photographs taken around Port Dickson in Malaysia, the town where she grew up. The images recorded staged moments in a small town at the end of the last century, transforming the strange through humorous intervention. The figures in these images had their heads swathed in exotic tropical fruits, their identity masked or perhaps disguised. The dressing up was a kind of elaborate performance and, however comic they may have appeared, the figures retained a certain dignified silence which left the viewer guessing.
