Sleepy City: urban photography exhibition

5 07 2006

A couple of years back (how time flies!), I got very interested in urban exploration photography, and even published an interview with the then-anonymous local artist known as dsankt who is behind Sleepy City, a project that has yielded some quite beautiful photographs of subterranean Brisbane. Recently Sleepy City joined forces with other like-minded artists to mount an urban photography exhibition in Fortitude Valley. Unfortunately, it was on the 22nd of June so I blinked and missed it, but it’s great to see these photographers getting the attention they deserve, and I thought it was worth a mention - there are plenty of photos on the website if you’re interested.

Update: More Brisbane urban exploration photography at Mr. Magoo ICU’s Flickr page.

I especially like this stark and beautiful shot of the Tennyson Power Station’s last days - it wasn’t accorded the same love and attention as the New Farm one, that’s for sure.
