Immerse yourself in the nocturnal world of Northbridge with The Night Speaks, a dynamic visual journey into the energy, people, and culture that come alive after dark. Harry Cunningham, a Perth-based documentary and contemporary arts photographer, leads us through a cityscape illuminated by hidden stories and unexpected encounters.

In this evocative series, Cunningham explores the diversity and depth of the human experience. Centering much of his work on Perth’s inner city and Northbridge, he deftly portrays the flow of nightlife, weaving together the vibrant pulse of the streets and late-night gatherings. Each image brims with narrative power, inviting viewers to pause and consider the complexities and stories revealed under the glow of lamplight.

A strong participant in Perth’s street photography scene, Cunningham’s practice extends beyond the static lens. His approach embraces a range of art forms and creative interpretations, reflecting the curiosity and excitement that fuel his explorations. His compelling imagery not only reveals the essence of people and the environments they inhabit, but also creates space for cultural landscapes to speak for themselves.

The Night Speaks by Harry Cunningham screens throughout Fringe World 2025, reflecting the artist’s work back upon its subject.
