Tracey Moffatt at the Venice Biennale
Tracey Moffat’s solo exhibition, MY HORIZON, will be launched at the fifty-seventh Venice Biennale in the Australia Pavillion. This new installation will include film and photography, and will encompass themes such as ‘the complexities of interpersonal relationships’, ‘the curiousness of popular culture’, and Moffat’s own ‘childhood memories and fantasies’.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a book by Thames and Hudson. ‘MY HORIZON will present a compendium of texts that reflect on Moffat’s highly political and deeply personal fictions’, said exhibition curator Natalie King

The Venice Biennale will be held from 13 May to 26 November 2017.
