“The camera desires what I desire, it captures these subjects and possesses them,” explains Drew Pettifer. “It records these moments for me, and I in turn share them with my audience.” The Melbourne-based artist, academic and curator is referring his latest collection of images, a monograph titled Less Than Overs, that collectively offers personal insights into his unique practice. Editor Kyla McFarlane describes Mr Pettifer’s work as a” complex party [in which the artist] is inviting us to.”

Drew Pettifer: Less Than Lovers is published by M.33 and will be
launched at West Space, Melbourne, 6-8pm 01 Octber 2014.
