This publication accompanies the first survey exhibition of multi-disciplinary artist James Tylor, curated by Leigh Robb. It includes essays by Geoffrey Batchen, Coby Edgar, Caitlin Eyre, Leigh Robb, and James Tylor.

James Tylor’s expansive practice explores histories of colonisation and its profound impact on Indigenous cultures, particularly the Kaurna people of South Australia. Turrangka…in the shadows surveys a decade of practice, including daguerreotypes, digital photographic series, handmade Kaurna cultural objects and furniture. The title points to the relationship between light and shadow in photography. As well as shadow, the Kaurna word ‘turra’ also translates to reflection, image and mirror. It evokes the concept of working in the shadows and shining a light on untold histories.
