CHERINE FAHD

Cherine Fahd is one of Australia's leading photographic artists. For over twenty years, she has exhibited, written and curated works that focus on photography and video performance. Her projects often incorporate members of the public as well as her immediate family, friends and community. Cherine’s recent projects have focused on how photographic portraiture can create intimate social encounters between herself and strangers.

A recent commission that explores this is "Being Together: Parramatta Yearbook" – a public art project jointly commissioned by C3West on behalf of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia in partnership with Parramatta Artists’ Studios, an initiative of the City of Parramatta.

Other projects have been commissioned by the Sydney Opera House, Australia; Carriageworks and Performance Space, Sydney; and Monash Gallery of Art, Melbourne. Her work has been exhibited and collected by the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; the Haifa Museum

AUSLAN Transcript

I've known Cherine Fahd for about 11 years, and worked with her on a number of occasions during that time. As I was setting out to curate the National, I met up with Cherine to see what she was up to, and she showed me an envelope of photographs detailing the funeral and burial of her paternal grandfather in 1975 at Rookwood Cemetery in Sydney.

Cherine was, at the time, writing an essay, an academic essay, on these particular photos, as a way of understanding their power and their mystery. Through our conversation that we had, Cherine adapted these photographs, these found photographs from the family archive, into a series for the National.

What we see are nine of the 24 photos, detailing that particular day in 1975. Cherine has added two layers of footnotes to the images. The first layer of footnotes is suggestive of a kind of almost pseudo-scientific indexing of what the content is alluding to, with the second layer of footnotes being a much more emotional index, a literary, or perhaps, I don't know, spiritual or personal connection to the images.
