An international photographic exhibition documenting the consequences of The Great War will be officially opened in Kingaroy on Thursday, November 7<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 4, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

A photographic exhibition showing Australian Diggers who served on the Western Front more than 100 years ago will be officially opened in Kingaroy this week.<\/p>\n

London-based photographer Ian Alderman said that for the population of West Flanders in Belgium, the Great War was still a daily fact of life.<\/p>\n

“Despite the terrifying battles that were fought there over a century ago, the lethal legacy of unexploded ammunition is an ever-present problem,” Mr Alderman said.<\/p>\n

“It comes to a head in the twice yearly \u2018Iron Harvest\u2019 when farmers plough their fields.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“On average, 180 tonnes of unexploded ammunition is recovered and destroyed by the authorities.”<\/p>\n

Ian is the only artist to have been given full access to the dangerous work and facilities of DOVO-SEDEE, the Belgium armed forces bomb disposal team responsible for clearing the ordnance.<\/p>\n

In 25 thought-provoking images, he has documented this team\u2019s work, montaging into his photographs symbolic images of the Australian Diggers who served on the Western Front.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is touring Australia after having previously been exhibited at the Palais Des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland and the In Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres, Belgium.<\/p>\n

Ian said it took him six years to produce the exhibition and bring it to Australia.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve created it with our younger generations in mind so that we may never forget how truly devastating the physical and psychological consequences of war are.”<\/p>\n

Recovering The Past is on display at Kingaroy Regional Art Gallery in Haly Street, Kingaroy from Monday, November 3, until Saturday, November 30 from 10:00am to 4:00pm weekdays, and 9:00am to 1:00pm on weekends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition will be officially opened at 6:00pm on Thursday, November 7, ahead of this year’s Remembrance Day commemorations on November 11, and is free to view.<\/p>\n
