Jemima Wyman’s practice explores camouflage as a visual and psychological device related to power. Billow consists of collages of photographs depicting smoke used in recent protests and demonstrations, all of which are related back to ‘camouflage’—a word derived from the French term camouflet, which literally means ‘a whiff of smoke in the face’.

Wyman finds images online depicting plumes of smoke generated from flares, fires, and deterrents, cuts them up and collages them together to make various formations.

PHOTO Australia respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live, and the rich and diverse Indigenous cultures across what is now called Australia. For over 60,000 years, Indigenous arts and culture have thrived on this sacred land, and we honour Elders and cultural leaders past and present. This was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
