Every Day is a duo exhibition featuring two photographic series, respectively by Julien Scheffer and Georgia Lilley, that seek beauty in the everyday and offer personal responses to familiar environments. The exhibition is presented as part of the 2026 Head On Photography Festival Open Program.

Julien’s series, Architecture, represents everyday architectural urban features that serve a practical purpose but are typically ignored, such as stairs, railings, walls, fences, pipes and concrete kerbs. The work focuses on the formal beauty and character of utilitarian city artefacts and aims to reveal the unexpected beauty that can be found in ordinary objects on the street. The series, which uses the interplay of light and shadow to reveal surprising urban forms, is playful at heart and meant as a poetic response to urban ordinariness.

Georgia’s series, But Mostly All We Love, features a series of photographs, made on 35mm colour film, documenting daily life in an evolving family. The series spans roughly 12 months across 2024 and 2025, the artist’s first year postpartum following the surprise twin freebirth of identical boys. Captured entirely within the tiny yellow kitchen/dining room of the family’s Launceston cottage, the work evokes the textural chaos, daily rituals and anticipatory nostalgia of family life. Driven by character and narrative, the series portrays a time of hope, love and ephemerality against a background of intense postpartum depression.
