Vince Lovecchio, Bathers (DOCUMENTARY & STREET 2026)

Two elderly swimmers sit together at Newcastle Ocean Baths, a beam of sunlight illuminating their white hair, its glow emphasising the passage of time and the effects of a lifetime spent in sun and salt. The same beam of light falls across the back of a young man beside them, creating a quiet visual connection between youth and age, while suggesting the passage of a generation of time between them.
