Patrick Pound: Windows

17 May - 11 January 2026

Extending the ideas of Patrick Pound’s exhibition Dream Vitrine is Windows, the second in a series of solo artist projects selected for the Gallery’s exterior panels – once a set of windows lining the building’s facade.

Each of the windows pictured on the exterior of the Gallery are images lifted from a single category in Pound’s vast collection of 70,000 found photographs. First collated for a photobook and never- before publicly exhibited, the selected photographs feature a window seen from the outside. We are allowed to look through them and see ghostly figures and happy families; actors acting, and everyday folks acting up; we see real and imagined worlds.

With each image reproduced to echo and reinstate the building’s ghostly past, we look through other people’s photographs and other people’s windows. Here, Pound reminds us that the photograph is a window posing as a mirror.

Commissioned and presented by Wollongong Art Gallery.
