Argileh at Wedding Cake Rock is a satirical exhibition which nods to culture, tradition and ethnicity in the digital age.
The exhibition explores the intersection of experimental and documentary style photography through a series of tableaux; constructed from surreal appropriations of Western Sydney neighbourhoods. The works are a reflection of both personal experience and an ongoing engagement with local personas, neighbourhoods, cultural motifs and trends.
The artist would like to thank the Ang Household, Natalie Ang, Shaleha Deen, Alessandra Femenias, Clarissa Mei, Helen Nguyen, Ivy Perlitz, Laura Ranola, Sara Tamim, Alyssa Yang, Talia Smith, Maryanne Taouk for their collaboration and ongoing friendship.
