16 April LILLITH IN ABSENTIA (PERFORMANCE PHOTOGRAPHS) SYC Studios and Protozoa's Inaugural Performance and Visual Arts Night “Snapshot” Sean Young Studios
In 2011 I exhibited my performance photos in a gallery for the second time, (the first being my contribution to the Museum of Brisbane's 2010 Prejudice and Pride Exhibition of local queer history) prior to that I had only exhibited them in the media. The theme of the Inaugural “Snapshot” was death so I contributed the following photos taken by the late Iain Clacher.
2006 Lillith Snake by Iain Clacher for Evelyn Hartogh
2006 Lillith Star by Iain Clacher for Evelyn Hartogh
2006 Lillith Veil by Iain Clacher for Evelyn Hartogh
2007 Lost Madonna of the Wasps by Iain Clacher for Evelyn Hartogh
2007 Marlene by Iain Clacher for Evelyn Hartogh
IAIN CLACHER (1965-2009) died of a heart attack in the first week of 2009. For a decade he had been the Editor of my Sheroes column at Queensland Pride Newspaper. I drank for two years after he died. A close friendship had grown out of our shared love of punk and camp icons, close enough for me to trust him to photograph my Lillith character. Existing before God, Lillith was married to God's second creation Adam, but she demanded to be his equal, so she joined God's first creation Lucifer in Hell. The most ancient of archetypes, Lillith rules over death in childbirth, menstruation, miscarriage, mourning, and memory. E.H. 16 April 2011
