Overview
Fans of photography and public art should head down to OPEN at Darling Quarter this month for Sweet Country Stills Exhibition, a collection of stunning behind-the-scenes images captured by four stills photographers during the shooting of Warwick Thornton's new Australian period western, Sweet Country.
You'll be able to see 16 large-scale photographs by Tamara Dean, Warwick Baker, Mark Rogers and Michael Corridore, who captured portraits of the cast and locations on the fly during the movie's tight filming schedule in Alice Springs. Expect shots of actors (including Hamilton Morris, Natassia Gorey-Furber, Anni Finsterer, Thomas M. Wright, Bryan Brown and Sam Neill) alongside breathtaking desert landscapes.
Bill Dimas from Sydney's aMBUSH Gallery — who is producing the exhibition — says the photographs allow viewers a glimpse into a process normally hidden to them, revealing "both the intensity and pure joy of filmmaking". The exhibition is free and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Catch it before February 25.
