The Lonely Empire

Brisbane’s Sharon Green juxtaposes photographs of dead animals with photographs of glamorous wounded women. Promoting trophy hunting as a predominantly male preoccupation and drawing a parallel between blood sports and courtship, these lush commercial-looking images epitomise an ambivalent feminism.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
