Bio:
Chris Parkinson uses photographic processes and practices to remix the visual vocabulary of urban
environments across cultures. His compositions are indebted to seriality and abstraction, rhythm and affect.
Parkinson’s socially engaged practice sustains a strong connection to the region. His 2010 book, Peace of
Wall: Street Art from East Timor, is described as a ‘book of evocative photojournalism capturing an important
moment in East Timor’s history through its walls.’
His PhD at the University of Melbourne researches collective art practices and public cultures in Yogyakarta,
Indonesia and Dili, Timor-Leste.
