Watermelon Freak Show by Frank Barresi (Fa 77 + 43 ltd)


Frank Barresi is one of the local Melbourne artist that performed in local Fringe festival as well as performing abroad incuding Europe and Asia.


He only lives several streets away from me! I had the opportunity to witness his freak show which truely frightened me a little. He spent most of the time, screaming into the sky like a wolf howling. It was definitely freaky.


There were a few very concerned deaf elderly ladies without hearing aids turning their heads towards us as they probably sensed the vibrations on the floor.The shots are not properly staged but I felt like documenting local culture in my home turf.

The truth about any artist performing is that they do not wait for you. I have a blast shooting the brief performance but most of my shots do not meet the required standard.I found the last shot interesting as it revealed the kind of feeling I had at the time. I was wondering whether the red bits were his blood or the water melon flesh...
