We see a darkness

still searching for that elusive…something?

Raising questions about our awareness and acceptance of existence, We see a darkness by d&k (Dave Turley and Korin Gath), both recent graduates of Contemporary Arts at Edith Cowan University, will unpick our commonly held belief systems to unravel meanings inherent in everyday life and living.

… be prepared to examine the darkest depths of your soul…

We see a darkness will be an immersive environment encapsulating the entire ground floor space of spectrum project space. This sensory saturated experience incorporating installation, projection, sound and performance will challenge your accepted ideals and engage your inner voice… so be prepared for some internal work.

To be opened by Domenico de Clario
Coordinator of Community Engagement,

Friday 24 March 6pm – 8pm
