EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Rob Blakers, we witness the extraordinary unveiling of artist Mike Parr during Tasmania's Dark Mofo festival in Hobart. The image showcases the iconic Hobart Town Hall and the GPO, both dramatically bathed in a vibrant shade of red as Macquarie St is excavated to release Parr from beneath its bitumen surface. The photograph captures the essence of artistic expression and curiosity that defines Dark Mofo, an annual celebration of art and culture. As onlookers gather around, their anticipation palpable, one cannot help but be drawn into the enigmatic world created by Parr. Underneath the layers of asphalt lies an artist who has chosen to immerse himself in his craft completely. This thought-provoking act challenges our perception of art and pushes boundaries like never before. It serves as a reminder that true creativity knows no limits or conventions. Blakers' expertly composed shot encapsulates not only the physical excavation but also symbolizes a metaphorical unearthing - an exploration into hidden depths within ourselves through art. The contrasting colors create a visual spectacle that demands attention and invites contemplation. This powerful image is a testament to Australia's thriving arts scene and highlights how events like Dark Mofo continue to push artistic boundaries while captivating audiences with their audacity and innovation.
