Void_Melbourne Announces Representation of Alex Walker Ahead of Melbourne Art Fair

Void_Melbourne has announced the representation of Melbourne-based artist Alex Walker, coinciding with her solo presentation at Melbourne Art Fair this week.

Walker’s practice centres on the expanded field of photography, working across lens-based imagery, darkroom processes and site-responsive projection. Her work examines the status of photography within a contemporary context shaped by digital circulation and screen-based viewing, while maintaining a sustained focus on analogue techniques.

In 2025, Walker was awarded the Canberra Contemporary Photographic Prize and was selected as a finalist in both the National Photography Prize at MAMA and the Bowness Photographic Prize. Her recent activity also includes a large-scale private commission, as well as editorial features in Art Collector’s annual 50 Things Collectors Should Know edition and the inaugural issue of Current Art Magazine, an independently published contemporary art magazine from Aotearoa, New Zealand. These developments follow a series of recent acquisitions and institutional engagements that have expanded her national profile.

For Melbourne Art Fair, Walker will present a new body of large-scale, handmade colour darkroom prints. The works focus on the material and conceptual role of light within the analogue darkroom process, foregrounding light not only as a subject but as the primary generative force within photographic production.
