For the iconic Australian photographer Rennie Ellis, the 1970s-90s was ‘a great period of change’ – one that now seems a world away. It was a world free of risk, of affordable inner city housing, of social protest, of disco and pub rock, of youth and exuberance.
‘The Rennie Ellis Show’ highlights some of the defining images of Australian life from the 1970s to the 1990s. This is the period of Gough Whitlam and Malcolm Fraser, Paul Keating and Bob Hawke; AC/DC and punk rock; cheap petrol and coconut oil; Hare Krishnas, and hookers and Deviant Balls.
