Photography exhibition - Christopher KÖLLER: Gardens (1997-2007) April 3, 2007

The exhibition Gardens 1997-2007 is a sampling of Christopher Köller's photographs of gardens taken over the past 10 years with a $7.00 plastic Diana camera.

In the manner of a compulsive collector, Köller has travelled to a number of famous gardens and sought out all kinds of gardens wherever he happened to be. From the autumn haze in the medieval cloister garden of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, to the surrealist topiary framing Sleeping Beauty's Castle at Paris Disneyland and the dreamy seclusion of the octagonal pond at Edna Walling's Mawarra in the Dandenongs, Köller has created a series of images inspired by the work of gardeners and the art of garden designers.
