Kyle Archie Knight is a Wiradjuri queer photographic artist. His series Cruising for a Bruising (2022-ongoing) is a camp love letter to the Australian Suburbs. Growing up queer in outer-metropolitan Naarm (Melbourne), Knight found themselves drawn to explore the streets of their family neighbourhood. Their search for moments that capture the essence of suburbia results in a celebration of the surreal and the mundane, the humorous and the humdrum. Knight reconnects with past memories of estrangement, finding humour and delight in what was once alienating and suffocating.
