Artist in Conversation:
UK Frederick
photo access
UK Frederick discusses their exhibition The Camera Unrepair Shop and provides insight into their artistic practice.
The Camera Unrepair Shop combines installation, cyanotype process and performance to reflect on the nature of photography, its evolution, and the unseen labour behind film-based imagery. Frederick dismantles cameras, creating blueprints of their anatomy, subverting the usual production-to-waste narrative. This experimental work provokes contemplation about the current state of photography amid emerging technologies.

UK Frederick
I am an artist and academic working on Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country (Canberra, Australia). My primary modes of art practice are photography, printmaking and video. As an archaeologist, my art practice is informed by my interests in material culture and the way people interact with each other and their worlds.
I work as a Senior Research Fellow in the Centre for Creative and Cultural Research at the University of Canberra (UC).
