The Undressing Room
Posted by 'Pong in Art, Performance, Photography on 17/02/2009
I said I would not be photographing Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras events this year but things changed. I was invited in the last minute. This time I was assigned to one of the Festival venues, The Factory Theatre.
It started off with The Undressing Room with Imogen Kelly:
Imogen Kelly is Australia’s Queen of Burlesque, plaything of millionaires and notorious member of the demimonde. Although she is known as Australia’s premier showgirl- be warned, Imogen is a more of a burlesque saboteur than a museum piece.
The Undressing Room is performing at The Factory Theartre until 22 February 2009.
Building Mardi Gras

The original plan for this shooting was to capture the moment when took the main floats apart and transport them to the location just the the day before the Mardi Gras Parade. However, they found the way to do that without dismantling the float so they were just finishing them up. But I was not a waste of time, I found that the construction is interesting enough by itself. Moreover, that day a breakfast show from a television network came in to cross promo the event. It gave me another story in the morning.

I believe that I have covered all the aspects of Mardi Gras Parade that I wanted from this construction to, especially, the cleaning up. There are more angles to play, I am certain. But for now this is what I am quite satisfied.
Good Morning Mardi Gras

Breakfast television is doing Mardi Gras cross promotion on the day before the Parade.

The vibe before the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade kicks start is as photogenic as the parade itself.
