Visiting far off places as a tourist often compels us to observe and photograph our surroundings. Yet we regularly take our home surroundings for granted. By working in collaboration with Fika the Cavoodle, FIKACAM asks us to look at our world through the perpetually curious eyes of a dog.

This playful exhibition of works by Josh Wells and Fika is heavily influenced by reading Susan Sontag’s critical essay In Plato’s Cave while on a holiday and, as a professional photographer and tourist, enacting many of the behaviours Sontag criticises. The body of work questions notions of perspective, authenticity and reality in Photography, as well as recontextualising our local East Victoria Park.
