Here’s a little one minute video C-KOL produced for Joseph L. Griffiths’ Next Wave Festival installation ‘Shelters’. The three piece installation is at Conder Plaza, New Quay Promenade, Docklands until Sunday. A Sunset Closing Celebration will also take place at the same location on Sunday between 3-5pm, if you’re free, please come, I’ll be there shooting and celebrating.
Joseph L. Griffiths’ unexpected installations Shelters bind creativity and survival, against the backdrop of a failed metropolis in Melbourne’s Docklands. Handmade entirely from natural and recycled materials collected on-site, these improvised dwellings, rafts and lookouts reclaim under-utilised spaces and drift between the wharves. Building on the precinct’s multiple histories and folklore, these part-sculpture, part-living structures explore the unexpected potential for beauty in this notorious landmark of Australia’s cultural cringe and propose new artistic approaches to our everyday lives.
