Photographer Chris Burkard won this year’s Red Bull Illume international action-sports photography competition with an epic shot of Peter Mendia surfing in Buchupureo, Chile. See the winning image — along with all fifty finalists, including shots of skateboarders, skiers, divers, mountain bikers, motocross racers, parkour free-runners and more — in a stunning presentation when the touring exhibition comes to Denver.
“These pictures are literally breathtaking, and they’ll be presented in a massive and dramatic night-viewing format with backlit prints,” says David Ehrlich, executive director of the not-for-profit Denver Theatre District. “It’s very exciting for us because the active Colorado audience is the perfect crowd for this type of show, and because it’s an ideal showcase for our outdoor Galleria space, which we always like to show off.”
The show will be up from 8:30 to 11 p.m. tonight in the outdoor courtyard at the Denver Performing Arts Complex; It’s free to view and will be up nightly through June 12. For more information, and to vote in the People’s Choice competition, visit www.redbullillume.com.
