  • Photographers from Africa and the African diaspora featured in #NGVTriennial celebrate the dynamism and beauty of life, while also questioning what it means to live in changing times, where preconceived ideas of race, gender, representation and power are increasingly challenged. Each artist uses photography and portraiture in thought-provoking ways to share their identities as peoples of diverse countries across Africa. Their photographs are not only portraits of individuals but are also pictures of community and contemporary society. See these works on display on the ground floor, NGV International. • Aïda Muluneh Compromise 2017 from the A Memory of Hope series 2017 National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne Bowness Family Fund for Photography, 2018 © Aïda Muluneh Ayana V.

  • Follow the emotional journey of a faceless, sleepless girl wrapped in a duvet as she contemplates life in #NGVTriennial artist Natasha Matila-Smith’s film 'If I die, please delete my Soundcloud, 2019'. In this film we see her inner thoughts written on screen as though sent as a text or messenger app. We hear strange sounds ebbing and flowing. We feel a tension that never fully resolves. We are denied any sense of time, reminding us that isolation and loneliness are not only about distance and being ‘alone’, but also about a sense of timelessness. Watch the complete film on Level 3 of NGV International. • Natasha Matila-Smith If I die, please delete my Soundcloud 2019 Purchased, NGV Foundation, 2020

  • To #NGVTriennial artist Kim Sihyun an ID photo has more than one purpose. ‘When I think about what role ID portraits play in this day and age, it is the work of recording and archiving this specific time that we live in, no matter the purpose of the photographs. Even within ten years’ time, these “trendy” features prevalent now in the photographs of my subjects can already be out of fashion’ - Kim Sihyun (@sihyunhada) See this work on display on the Ground level of NGV International. #NGVTriennial • Kim Sihyun Untitled from the Identification (ID) Photo Project series 2017 Collection of the artist The NGV warmly thanks Triennial Supporter Korea Foundation for their support.

  • In the myth of Narcissus a beautiful young man falls in love with his own reflection. New Zealand-born artist of Samoan-Australian heritage, Angela Tiatia reimagines this Greco-Roman myth in ‘Narcissus’ by creating an allegory of contemporary culture and its obsession with and worship of the self through social media. In Tiatia's film a cast of forty perform acts of self-worship, ritual, joy, love, lust, complacency, despair and disregard. These performances show vulnerabilities, frustrations, flaws and strengths that highlight and amplify humanity's uncertain and challenging times ahead. See this work as part of #NGVTriennial on Level 2, NGV International. • Installation view of Angela Tiatia’s Narcissus 2019 in display in NGV Triennial at NGV International, Melbourne from 19 December 2020 – 18 April 2021 © Courtesy the artist and Sullivan + Strumpf, Sydney.

  • Comic books, pulp novels, rock albums, protest posters, thrift store paintings and advertisements all influence #NGVTriennial Artist Jim Shaw’s art making.
