The Writing: Based on a True Story
Quotes? You can't handle the quotes.
Overview
The CBD establishment that houses legendary bookshop Kinokuniya, The Galeries Victoria is bringing more joyful words into our lives with an intriguing art exhibition, paying homage to some of the most memorable movie quotes of all time. Think about the great '90s movies we grew up on, the expected and the unexpected — this temporary gallery will showcase it all.
The exhibition is called Based on a True Story and was created by The Writing artist Tania Debono. Debono is well-known in the art world for her colourful and unique approach to typography as artwork. The showcase is being held in The Galeries' public art space, Lane Four. Revered quotes are splashed across the walls in a three-dimensional mural that celebrates the power of film and the actors that immortalised those epic lines.
The iconic quotes lining the exhibition walls were the amalgamation of communal input and social commentary. The exhibition is a visual nod to the great writers who have had a significant impact on the film industry — and in some cases influenced the way we talk today (essentially every line in Mean Girls). See if you can match them all to their movies.
Based on a True Story will be running until November 1 at the Galeries Victoria. Entry is free.
