EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Rob Blakers, we witness the extraordinary spectacle that unfolded during Tasmania's Dark Mofo festival in Hobart. The image showcases artist Mike Parr as he becomes the centerpiece of an astonishing art installation. As crowds gather on Macquarie St, anticipation fills the air. The street is being excavated to encase Parr beneath its very surface. This audacious act blurs the boundaries between art and reality, leaving spectators awestruck and intrigued. Parr's decision to immerse himself underneath layers of bitumen symbolizes a profound exploration of human existence and vulnerability. It challenges societal norms and provokes contemplation about our own place in the world. The Dark Mofo festival itself serves as a platform for artists like Parr to push artistic boundaries beyond conventional limits. It celebrates unconventional expressions of creativity while engaging audiences with thought-provoking installations. Blakers' photograph perfectly captures both the grandeur and intimacy of this momentous occasion. As viewers, we are drawn into the scene, feeling a sense of wonderment at witnessing such an extraordinary feat unfold before our eyes. This powerful image encapsulates not only Parr's daring performance but also highlights Australia's vibrant arts scene where artists fearlessly challenge conventions and invite us all to question what it means to be alive.
