Jeff Moorfoot Condomonium series forms part of the exhibition SCAN, presented at Maud Gallery in 2020. The series introduces a playful yet unsettling visual language built from the pairing of two unrelated objects: a condom and a small panda figurine.

The title Condomonium merges the words condom and pandemonium. Through this combination, Jeff Moorfoot creates images that move between humour, satire and conceptual photography.

In this body of work, everyday objects become carriers of layered meaning. The condom suggests protection and the prevention of life-threatening illness, while the panda figurine appears innocent and almost childlike. When these two objects appear together, their meanings begin to shift. The result is a strange narrative space where humour and discomfort exist simultaneously.

The Jeff Moorfoot Condomonium photography series relies on simple staging and careful visual balance. The objects are isolated and photographed in ways that emphasise their sculptural presence. Rather than telling a fixed story, each image invites viewers to construct their own interpretation.

This approach reflects Moorfoot’s broader interest in conceptual photography and visual wit. By juxtaposing objects that normally have no relationship, the artist reveals how context shapes meaning.

First presented within the SCAN exhibition at Maud Gallery in 2020, the Condomonium photography series by Jeff Moorfoot remains a distinctive exploration of absurdity, symbolism and visual narrative.

The viewing room revisits this series as part of Maud Gallery’s commitment to presenting innovative photographic practices and highlighting significant works by contemporary Australian photographers.
