Exhibition to star snapped sites on walk

But for concept artist Travis De Vries, walking means so much more.
His latest photographic collection on exhibition at Bankstown Arts Centre, Blak Flaneur, provides a unique perspective on the act of walking as an artistic practice.
“During covid lockdowns, I needed to exercise so I picked up the camera and used it as an excuse to walk around my area, exploring different places. That morphed into an artistic passion,” De Vries said.
“A big part of my artistic practice is spending time in different landscapes and exploring that through photography – capturing my experience travelling through these spaces.”
De Vries’ cohesive collection of photographs taken while walking through multiple environments across NSW, will be on exhibition until Saturday, March 2, and includes a sand experience, and video and audio clips of environments visited – a sensational sensory experience for all who come along.
The exhibition is a part of Art Nights: Culture Alive, a program transforming Bankstown into a spectacular hub of music, dance, art and culture over three memorable nights.
His work also features in the program’s interactive art walk, Hyperreal Amble. His mural, titled Protection, displays rendered First Nations shield designs, representing the work that Indigenous people across the globe are doing to protect land and space.
