The Edge Screens: Echoes of Brisbane

About the exhibition

Echoes of Brisbane explores the difficulty of capturing a place once visited, after memory and imagination have filtered the experience into a dreamlike state. This series of artworks was initiated in 2006 using traditional black‑and‑white photographic film and a disused camera from an architectural practice to capture echoes of light and echoes of Brisbane’s urban landscape from that moment in time. 

Revisiting the work in 2026, artist Pia Robinson has transformed these static photographs into moving image. The resulting work sit between photography and cinema, fusing analogue methods with contemporary digital processes to reanimate Brisbane from 2006 for this exhibition at The Edge Screens. 

Pia Robinson is a multi‑disciplinary artist living in South East Queensland. 

The exhibit will be on The Edge Screens 1 July to 17 August.

This work is presented as part of State Library of Queensland's Brisbane Open House program for 2026.
