Heart of Gold Project 3. 2006 - 2007 -by Tarryn Gill & Pilar Mata Dupont

Heart of Gold Project 3 (2006-2007) is by far the most extensive of the projects, taking a year to produce. We began this work during a PICA residency in August 2006. It has since, in various formats, been viewed at the Bakery, the Moores Building, the Canberra Contemporary Art Space, the Australian Centre For Photography and So That Liberty Shall Not Perish From This Earth won us the City of Perth National Aquisitive Award. This series consists of twelve elaborately staged photographic portraits based on propaganda posters and girlie pin-ups from WWI and II.

These prints are available for purchase. There are a limited edition of 3 prints for each and the dimensions are 30 x 20 inches. P.O.A. email pilar@heartofgold.net.au

These photographs are also used in our 2008 Calendar along with beautiful illustrations by Fern Petrie, on sale in our online store.
There is minimal digital manipulation in these images, we choose to create them with real sets and theatrical lighting.
