Photographs of Wyndham residents will be projected onto trees at Werribee Park after dark, as part of a new arts experience to be held this month.

Wyndham council’s BLINK, a free event, will run from 9pm until midnight between December 10 and 20.

Portraits captured by local photographer David Mullins, from his Faces of Wyndham project, will be projected onto trees.

BLINK attendees will be able to book early sit-down dinners or enjoy a pre-booked picnic hamper in the grounds of The Refectory Parlour, Joseph’s Restaurant & Bar and Shadowfax Wines.

Visitors will also be able to bring along their own picnic, with the park grounds open throughout the evening.

Destination Wyndham portfolio holder, Cr Heather Marcus encouraged residents to book ahead for BLINK.

“BLINK will provide an opportunity to come together this summer, while social distancing and utilising Wyndham’s great public open spaces,” Cr Marcus said,

“It’s going to take some time before we can return to some of the big festivals that Wyndham is known for, but we can still find ways to gather safely.”

Wyndham’s creative city portfolio holder, Cr Marcel Mahfoud, said that the BLINK event would offer something for everyone.

“We’re delighted to be working with local photographer, David Mullins and look forward to seeing his work being brought to life in the iconic Werribee Park,” Cr Mahfoud said.

A range of health and safety measures will be in place for the event, in line with the latest COVID-19 restrictions.

Bookings are required to attend BLINK, see www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/blink for details.
