Duncan Wright – Dancing Unconscious
Dancing Unconscious (Tall Poppy Press, 2026) is the debut monograph from West Australian photographer Duncan Wright. Documenting a confronting three year period where photography became a meditative practice, the photographs in the book draw upon intense emotions in times of pure joy, sorrow and deep resonating change. Accompanied by a short and darkly humorous poem considering the act of dying, written by Duncan’s mum (and discovered hiding in notes on her computer), Dancing Unconscious acts as a diary for a period of time where the duality of life is heightened by the overwhelm of our every day.
