Ingeborg Tyssen was an Australian photographer, designer and teacher (1945-2002). She arrived in Australia with her mother in 1957, she was 12 years of age at the time. Tyssen spent years working and traveling, and wasn't until the early 1970's that her interest in photography became apparent. She returned to Sydney in mid 1970's and took a photography class with John Williams. Tyssen began exhibiting her work in 1975 after being inspired by Williams's teaching and passion for history. Her early photographic work depicted the sense of isolation and dislocation she often experienced in modern urban life. Through cultural history, present society and landmarks such as theme parks, she photographed empty and still landscapes. People appeared separated. Either trapped in shadows or caught in the light.
