Eight Paths, One Journey
Eight Paths, One Journey was a 51-piece photographic artwork by Nic Montagu and curator/artistic director, Matt Dragun.
Created using a distinct documentary style approach, Eight Paths, One Journey explored the experiences of nine Australian yoga practitioners who found a place for the ancient Eastern practice of yoga in their 21st Century Western Lives.
The exhibition consisted of three elements; colour-toned lithograph prints, black and white lithograph prints and written quotes from the subjects of the photographic works.
The 27 colour-toned images captured each of the subjects practising yoga in a variety of settings. The settings reflected the multitude of external influences in the subject’s lives, placing each subject and their practice of yoga in the context of 21st century western existence. The beauty of the human form and the physical elegance of yoga poses were captured while the intersection of Eastern practice and Western life was explored.
