Night and Urban Photography

This photographic exhibition at Manfred's in Fortitude Valley,
Thursday 22nd June 2006, documents the night-time wanderings of two
Brisbane photographers. From scaling the urban Everests to crawling
lower than the worms bother digging, they've produced a collection of
startling images created in the places most dare not tread.

Over the past few years they have travelled around Australia, and
occasionally the world, to document the forgotten spaces lurking
within the urban environment. They play in derelict industrial
wastelands and paddle through flooded tunnels to capture a potent mix
of colour, texture and shadow. It's an infusion of life into the
darkened corners that often go unnoticed.

The Low Down
When: From 7pm, Thursday 22nd June 2006.
Where: Manfred's Bar, Brunswick Street Mall Fortitude Valley.
How much: Free you hobo!
