Concrete Playground

Can a photograph somehow visually capture
the essence of an auditory experience? With a lens that has perforated rock
concerts, festivals and intimate gigs around the world, photographer Cara
Stricker takes us on an inside journey, capturing the global music scene with
raw immediacy. In Dancing on my bed, Stricker
explores a visual landscape of sound, effortlessly infusing rhythm, melody and movement into a series of images that urge you to "dance with your
eyes closed and lose yourself in the shadows."

Dancing on my bed will run for six weeks at the Absolute stairwell gallery, and will also showcase two new mural walls from artists Numskull
and Roach. Opening night will feature music by Strickmachine, Nicky Night Time
and Holiday Sidewinder. Not reason enough to brave Sydneys mentally unstable
weather? Free Absolute cocktails for all on arrival.
