Exhibition Overview
Reverberation Time speaks to the transient nature of our existence relative to the temporal and physical vastness of the Universe. Hladky uses flash to explore places that have been reclaimed by nature after human occupation, illuminating the power of natural forces and our futile attempts to corral them.
Shot predominately in country NSW, the series features empty structures in varying states of decay, mining tunnels carved from sandstone and an ancient system of limestone caves and conduits.
