"Unscripted" now on exhibition at Artspace at the Regional Theatre

Griffith Regional Theatre’s Artspace is showcasing its first urban street photography exhibition, Unscripted, a striking collection by local photographer Lisa Bertolin.

The exhibition is a visual story that explores the multifaceted array of the public spectrum taking place in the streets of New York City and San Fransciso. The exhibition culminates many hours of investigation by Lisa and her developed skill as a professional photographer.

The exhibition offers a blend of architecture, abstraction and fleeting, unscripted moments that often go unnoticed. Lisa believes “Each image holds a story, a feeling, a captured moment in time and my hope is that perhaps, the audience can also get a little lost in the mystery and quiet meaning that my work has helped me uncover.”

Art Gallery Coordinator, Melanie Toscan, is elated with the discovery of Lisa’s first exhibition and comments that her work is “A complete body of work that offers the audience many opportunities to connect with Lisa’s experience, whether that is through their own journey or possibly travel. Lisa has brought the streets of New York and San Francisco to our local gallery space and it is such an adventure to be taken on.”

“Lisa’s work imbues a passion for the scenes from the city streets, which she shares with influential photographers such as Vivian Maier, Helen Levitt and Ernest Haas,” Ms Toscan said.

“The palette of her work is alive with notes of beautifully saturated architecture, the curves of a cleverly observed street walk, a fluorescent punch of a bold character mid-walk and greyscale moments that will leave you observing line or tone you may have not noticed.”

The exhibition is on display at Griffith Regional Theatre’s Artspace until Friday 8 August during the Theatre’s opening hours. All are welcome to attend.
