EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Rob Blakers, the annual nude winter solstice swim during Hobart's Dark Mofo festival comes to life at Long Beach in Sandy Bay, Tasmania. The image showcases a group of fearless swimmers fearlessly entering the water on Wednesday, June 22,2022. As the sun sets and darkness envelops the surroundings, these brave souls embrace both art and culture as they strip down to their bare skin for an unforgettable experience. Against the backdrop of a chilly Tasmanian winter evening, their bodies become one with nature, defying societal norms and embracing freedom. The Dark Mofo Winter Solstice Swim has become an iconic event that symbolizes resilience and unity within Hobart's artistic community. It serves as a reminder that even in the coldest times of our lives, there is beauty to be found and shared. Blakers' photograph perfectly captures not only the physicality of this daring act but also its profound emotional impact. The contrast between warm human flesh against the cold ocean waves creates a striking visual juxtaposition that leaves viewers captivated. This image stands as a testament to Australia's vibrant arts scene and its ability to push boundaries while celebrating individuality. Through his lens, Blakers invites us all to immerse ourselves in this extraordinary moment where vulnerability meets strength – reminding us that sometimes it takes stripping away our inhibitions to truly feel alive.
