SERENDIPITY

A MINUSELEVEN AUDIOVISUAL x subject@ PRODUCTION

"A liminal environment, captured with melodramatic eyes. The feeling captured here may seem surreal, but is it because that's what we've been told or is it because our environments have showed us otherwise?" 
Captured at the Biennale of Sydney 2026 at the White Bay Power Station Exhibition and in collaboration with subject@. 


SERENDIPITY began at our journey to see the White Bay Art Exhibition that was happening under the Biennale of Sydney 2026.
The process started as a search for what the eye would normally pass over. Within the exhibition space, we looked for perspective that seemed unremarkable - window frames, repeated signage (that was later the yellow square with red borders and diagonal lines), and certain areas with unique natural lighting - and stayed with them until something shifted. That quality of being oddly moved by something almost invisible became the organising principle of the shoot. Objects, certain perspectives were framed in a way that we believed were unique and never captured very often.
Post-production was where the collection's identity truly came together. Rather than grading towards accuracy, we worked toward feeling, and reproduced the colours we experienced at the exhibition rather than the colours the camera recorded objectively. The result was a surreal urban landscape with visual temperature manipulation and exaggerated lighting - closer to emotional memory than documentation.
The collection came together in a way that we had not anticipated or designed. That quality of unexpected arrival is what gave it its name.
