Melanie Cobham – Bodybuilding
This book traces artist Melanie Cobham’s early years in Melbourne after relocating from Uruguay just before the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the city’s extended lockdowns and her heightened sense of isolation, Cobham turned to photography – capturing her daily walks as a way to observe and connect with her new surroundings. The resulting images offer a quiet, contemplative view of the urban landscape, often devoid of people, and filled with fleeting details, surreal reflections, and architectural forms. Blending detachment with curiosity, her work evokes the perspective of a modern-day flâneur, transforming solitude into a poetic and empathetic exploration of place and time.
