Cherry Blossoms and Heide (Man Ray and Max Dupain exhibition)

In the 1980s, the Japanese government donated 100 flowering cherry trees to the people of Victoria, which were planted in Banksia Park. This is one of the few places in Australia where we can photograph the Japanese cherry blossoms.

Banksia Park is situated right next to the Heide Museum of Modern Art, which is currently exhibiting the works of Man Ray and Max Dupain, who first discovered and used the Solarisation technique, now a filter in software such as Photoshop and Affinity Photo.
