Wish You Were Here
25 Jul 2021 – 29 August 2021
Redland Gallery | Cleveland, QLD
Wish You Were Here began as a response to the lockdown life of the pandemic. Uncanny household objects collide with uncertain landscapes. In search of progress, multiple figures attempt to travel yet go nowhere in this oddball world. Their figurative and abstract forms gently smash together to imitate how we fumble for connection. Wish You Were Here is an immersive installation of collaged works on paper, projected animation, sound and Augmented Reality (AR). Through repetitive rhythm and monotonous loops, non-specific locations and an unspecified time, this work blends the physical and the psychological for a moment of hypnotic but joyful reprieve. Sound by Mick Dick and AR by Helena Papageorgiou.
