A new art installation developed through conversations and creative exchange with LGBTQIA+ community members in Kingston. Bringing together photography, sound and text, the exhibition reflects on how we experience and express identity — through our bodies, relationships, and the environments we move through.
The work creates a quiet, immersive space that considers visibility, care, and the subtle ways we hold one another in community. Developed collaboratively, Falling Into Light responds to lived experience in Kingston while continuing the artist's broader interest in portraiture, intimacy and the textures of queer life.
Call for Participants
The artist invites LGBTQIA+ individuals who currently live or work — or who have previously lived or worked — in the City of Kingston to participate in a new photographic installation.
Developed through his MAGNIFY artist-in-residence, the work will be presented as a photographic and audio-based installation at Kingston Arts Centre in March 2026. It explores queer presence and the ways identity is expressed, embodied, remembered and situated within space and community.
How to take part
Participants may choose their level of visibility — fully present, partially obscured, or anonymous. The project prioritises agency, respect, and collaborative representation.
Participation begins with a friendly, face-to-face chat about the project and your experiences or reflections. There’s no obligation to continue beyond this first meeting. Participation may involve being photographed (studio or on location), offering a short audio reflection, contributing a gesture or moment of presence, or optionally sharing a short written thought.
Celebration event
Join the artist for a Celebration Event at Kingston Arts Centre, Moorabbin, including complimentary refreshments on Thursday evening 19 March. Please check our website later to RSVP
