Penelope Davis is included in the National Gallery of Victoria's 2023 survey of contemporary photography Photography: Real and Imagined.
Highlighting major photographic works from the NGV Collection, Photography: Real and Imagined examines the complex, engaging and sometimes contradictory nature, of all things photographic. The NGV’s largest survey of the photography collection, the exhibition includes more than 300 works by Australian and international photographers and artists working with photo-media from the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
