Cebby’s stunning images in the frame at Frankston Arts Centre

Published on 23 June 2023

Ceberio (Cebby) Johnson is an Indigenous, blind photographer and asks his audience to be his eyes.

“I take the photo of my moments – then they see the moment for me,” he said.

Cebby presents a photographic exhibition titled ‘Your Eyes. My Heart’ featuring images taken during a recent trip back to his birthplace in the Northern Territory.

“I hope people feel like they are in red sand with me seeing what I can feel. You feel it out there – like you can feel the ocean here.”

Cebby won the Frankston Arts Centre Open Exhibition 2022 with a joyous photographic self-portrait in which he embraces his rescue dog, Early.

The artwork was recognised for the joy and spontaneity of its subjects and captured Cebby’s remarkable fortitude and optimism.

As part of his award prize, Cebby is presenting his ‘Your Eyes. My Heart’ exhibition, which is now on at Frankston Arts Centre’s Curved Wall Gallery until 19 August. For more information, please visit Frankston Arts Centre

An opening event to celebrate Cebby’s exhibition will be held at the Curved Wall Gallery on Thursday, 6 July. The event is free, however RSVP essential by visiting What's On at Frankston Arts Centre or phone 9784 1060.
