"Making art is quite therapeutic", Tracey Moffatt once said of herself. This brief statement reveals much of the artist's personality and above all about her manner of interpreting the artistic experience, a practice that frequently refers to her personal episodes and events. An Aborigine by birth, Tracey Moffatt grew up as a foster child in a white family in line with the policy of the time, and she quickly became fascinated by the pop culture of those years. Images drawn from magazines, cinema and television began to form the symbolic universe that would become a point of reference in most of her work, alongside the ever-present and in part autobiographical theme of ostracism and segregation experienced in all its aspects: racial, social, sexual.

Explores in depth the film work of Australian artist/photographer Tracey Moffatt.
Tracey Moffatt, with her 'photographic paintings', fragments of imaginary or real tales, highlights the contrasts within society and within each individual in an exemplary manner. Through forms and techniques that seem to come from the realm of dreams, subconscious, and myth - between dreams and reality - she shows us that day-to-day conflicts are a reality shared by all civilisations, although the particular circumstances and cultural contexts affect the way they are expressed.
