A Centre for Contemporary Photography Exhibition curated by Catlin Langford and Metro Auto Photo
A distinctly Australian story, centred on the figure of Alan Adler. Adler, while little known, was likely the most photographed man in Australia and is also the oldest and longest serving photobooth technician in the world. For over 50 years, Adler maintained a suite of photobooths across Melbourne/Narrm, most notably, the site near Flinders Street Station. Auto Photo: A Life in Portraits will feature Alan Adler’s extensive archive, alongside additional works by and drawn from the collections of Metro Auto Photo (Christopher Sutherland & Jessie Norman), Katherine Griffiths, and Patrick Pound.
Gallery Talk: Saturday 2 May, 11am
