Overview
Melbourne-based photographer Zan Wimberley brings her latest collection of stunning works to Sydney's Artereal Gallery. The lengthily-named Who could bear to look up at the night sky and know which stars are already dead is an exploration of fireworks and similarly celebratory materials, in comparison and contrast with the stars. They are considered as a metaphor for the ephemeral — of both the individual and the universe — against the backdrop of the sensory overload facilitated by the Internet.
Wimberley studied scientific photography at RMIT, before becoming a favourite employee of many Australian cinematographers. She went on to complete a Masters at Sydney College of the Arts and then shifted her focus to her own practice. So far, she's exhibited at Firstdraft and Annette Larkin Fine Art, among other galleries. Her work is regularly preoccupied with the big questions of death, eternity, mourning and loss, visiting the space between death and the absurd.
