Seeking Light
Sydney - 2017
VIZVIZ (Sydney) Creative & Cultural is proud to present “Seeking Light”, an explosion of light and adventure by renowned Chinese Australian artists.
Born out of disillusionment of traditional exhibition practices, Seeking Light will take you on a journey through some of the most remote and beautiful places in the world, places off the beaten track, places in the world that only a select few have visited.
Take time to immerse yourself in this special exhibition, with exclusive opportunities to meet the artists and understand the stories behind their art. For those wanting to continue the journey and explore the exhibition further, a series of workshops with the artists will enable attendees to learn more about the photography process and gain more hands-on experience.
Key genres are explored including adventure documentary, performance photography and creative manipulation of the photographic image. The participating photographers have a presence and following in the art communities of both China and Australia.
From sweeping landscape scenes to powerful portraits captured by daring individuals, ”Seeking Light” will fully expose you to thought-provoking, visually captivating art.
