FotoFreo Update: Art of Travel- Australia

From Rebecca Anne Lee | 10 Mar 2010

Art of Travel – Australia
Travel is not a skill, it’s an art! If you haven’t been on that worldwide adventure lately, or even if you have, you should visit Rebecca Anne Lee’s exhibition the ‘Art of Travel - Australia.’ Featured in FotoFreo Fringe 2010 (www.fotofreo.com), ‘Art of Travel - Australia’ can be viewed at Caffissimo East Perth form 20 March to 18 April 2010. This exhibition will encourage you to look, observe and reflect.
Rebecca boasts an Advanced Diploma in Photography and a Bachelor of Communications & Contemporary
Arts, majoring in Photography. Years of study has not hindered her curiosity of the global world having lived
in India, Switzerland and Australia with some travel in between. Rebecca brings to her art years of study and
refinement, the knowledge of an international life and the youth of a 25 year old. Rebecca certainly is an
emerging artist worth keeping an eye on.
The ‘Art of Travel – Australia’ is part of an ongoing project, which explores global human habitats through Photography.
Rebecca captures cultural objects seen within these landscapes, representing mans lasting need to classify and repeat their
physical surroundings. These cultural objects are signs, which offer a glimpse into the immediate ethnicity of the land and its
inhabitants. Presented in collage format, Rebecca has adopted this style to truly narrate the significance of mans habitual
self-branding. It is the desire of the inhabitants and the curiosity of the traveller to reclaim the importance of these cultural
objects; thus gaining a perspective through cultural comparisons. Through these vices Rebecca encourages you to pay attention to the world around us.
