VISIONS Book Launch - Terrain Store, Melbourne, Thurs 29th.
Celebrate the launch of VISIONS, Thursday, 6pm at Terrain.Earth in Melbourne.
Tomorrow, or tonight, depends on when you open this email/newsletter. We are hosting the launch of my latest collaborative photo-book project - VISIONS.
At Terrain.Earth - one of the most beautifully interesting spaces in Melbourne, and I would say the world. Located at 101-103 Brunswick St, Fitzroy VIC 3065
From 6.00pm to 9.00pm come down to check out the book and purchase a copy if you have the means.
The film of the same name will be playing, drinks of the non-alchoholic style will be flowing and the specially made playlist for the film will enter your ears.
There will also be a limited run of VISIONS t-shirts printed on Arc’teryx performance t-shirts available exclusively at the event.
Climbers are like water in reverse here, slithering and flowing against gravity, so much so that climbing the limestone is often referred to as an art rather than a sport.
VISIONS is a film and limited edition hardcover art-book about self-discovery, nature, harmony, exploration and rock climbing in Kura Tāwhiti, Castle Hill - Aotearoa, New Zealand. A place that seems to thrill the human heart, which has long been a site of spiritual significance and artistic inspiration. In more recent times, it has become a magnet for rock climbers.
Many of the artists now seek a perfect feeling of body over rock, rather than simply making it to the top. The beauty of a good climber interacting with the rock here is plain for all to see. The approach to climbing has become more gentle with a greater attention to detail. The climbers’ shoes are kept extremely clean and chalk is used sparingly; when connecting with the high art of nature, great care is taken to minimise one’s footsteps.
Created in collaboration with a special group of climbers and friends who are the changing face of the sport. The result: a film and accompanying book called VISIONS produced by Good Sport Magazine and Arc'teryx.
Directed and photographed by Ben Clement and Mondo Hays. Publication design by Joshua Briones-Yap. Typeface by ABC Dinamo. 3D Visuals by Workgroup. Featured climbers: Alec McCallum, Elijohn Felipe, Erica Gatland, Isaac Buckley, Joshua Briones-Yap, Kenji Boekholt, Matilda Plant, Matthew Corbishley, Max Brown, and Riley Jean Butler.
