Indigenous artist Darren Siwes' photographs of ghosted figures superimposed on architectural and landscape scenes suggest supernatural and haunted worlds. Shot at night, using time-lapse exposure, Siwes inserts his self-image as a ghostly presence accompanied by a masked female character within the urban landscape. Strangely beautiful, the urban landscape is imbued with a surreal character and the looming presence of indigenous identity.
