Gavin Libotte, Street Opera (DOCO 2024)

Music and Photography compliment each other, sharing elements such as harmony, balance, rhythm, and repetition. Both express thoughts, emotions, stories, views, ideas, and nuances within human life. Opera is a staged drama set to music but Street photography is an unstaged view of the world that is quietly dramatic. The backdrop of the Sydney Opera House showcases this juxtaposition. Simple scenes in peoples' lives become accentuated and elevated to reveal the ordinary artistry of the world and it's myriad stories. The never - ending drama of the personal life is presented in sharp relief.
