'Delivered Orders' - a series of images started in 2018 documenting my time working as an Uber Eats delivery person during my first year as a full-time art student in Melbourne. While making deliveries, I carried a small Diana Mini film camera in my pocket that divides each 35mm frame into two half-frames. The first half-frame of each image depicts the restaurant where I pick up the order, while the second depicts the destination where I deliver it. Each photograph is accompanied by the date and time of the order, the money I earned making the delivery, and a line tracing the path I took with my bike.⁣⁣ I started working with Uber Eats to make money, but soon became more interested in the delivery process for the images that it produced. I took that possibility as a motivation to continue working in an unremarkable job, transforming labor into a kind of fieldwork, studying the emergent phenomenon of online third-party food delivery from the perspective of the delivery person. The resulting works virtually connect places in the city through the photography process and the lines that depict these relations.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Image: 'Delivered Orders #9', C-type print, edition 1 of 6, 70cmX33cm, cardboard, pizza box. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Gallery opens Weds-Sats from 12-6pm until Fri, 28 Feb @seventhgallery. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #seventhgallery #ubereats #photography #contemporaryart #ezzmonem #melbourneartists #filmphotography #halfframe #35mm #dianamini #lomography #filmisnotdead #melbourne (at SEVENTH Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8tFHUJnoOT/?igshid=1vum5vniqos7t

#SeventhGallery Linda Sok’s Soft Monument is a rejoinder to the hypermasculine or ghoulish monuments to victims of the Khmer Rouge. Upstairs, group show Anathema: Kicking a Dead Horse includes Peter Narzisi’s fake busstop kintsugi, Madeleine Peters’ takes on Augustus Egg’s Travelling Companions (a work that put creepy back into Victorian respectability), Aaron Christopher Rees’ amusing Corner Study (Speculative Foundations) & Sanja Pahoki’s resonant Blow-up.

#SeventhGallery has closed down??! Oh, apparently not… But still closed. Their website notes “We have closed our Gertrude Street-facing gallery” ie money-making street frontage; lovers of “experimental, risky, critically engaged, conceptually coherent, responsible & socially aware” art have to creep around the back laneway in case they decide to open. At least they haven’t joined the legion of galleries totally disappearing. (at SEVENTH Gallery)
