• Provenance:
  Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, Sydney
• Notes:
  The photographic series 'Something More' (1989) presents a rich fragmented narrative with suggestive images of violence, glamour, and disappointed dreams. Originally exhibited in 1989 as part of Moffatt's first solo exhibition which was held at the Australian Centre for Photography, Sydney, the series has since been included in numerous significant exhibitions both in Australia and abroad. It is the first of Moffatt's photographic series which demonstrates all of the elements that have made her work so acclaimed: its theatrical staginess, its references to film, art and photographic history, issues of race and gender, the ambiguity of the characters. Moffatt sets up staged tableau images which have a narrative thread but in which many stories are being told. Tracey Moffatt photograph Something More #1 is featured in the book Tracey Moffatt, City Gallery Wellington, ed Paula Savage and Lara Strongman, as are one work each from the Laudanum series and the Invocations series.
