NO PHOTO EVER SEEN
No Photo Ever Seen, is a photographic project which explores accounts and abstractions related to Unexplained Aerial phenomena, or what is commonly referred to as - UFO Activity. The anchor of the project is based on the mass UFO sighting of April 6th, 1966. The event in question was situated over and within a Westall school ground in Melbourne Australia. It is said that over 300 staff and students saw unidentified flying objects breach their school grounds and it has since been coined as ‘The Westall UFO incident’.
The work is the culmination of Moore’s Master of Arts – Photography project undertaken at Photography Studies College, Melbourne, over the last 18 months. Moore uses assorted photographic and narrative building methodologies to investigate the subject matter and illicit mystery, strangeness and ultimately intrigue into the paranormal. Techniques adopted range from the mix of colour and black and white images, found documents, archival imagery, and personal writings that depict detailed encounters and quotes from UFO witnesses themselves. The project is driven by his own sighting in 2007 in the coastal town of Batemans Bay in NSW.
