Project Description

An original live artwork interweaving movement, video, music and text into the landscape of desert, suburbs and city.

Physically rigorous and visually entrancing, the performance travels the highways from Australia’s interior to the suburban outskirts of the metropolis into the arteries of urban life. Sand, sky and flood-plain give way to roads, cityscapes and highways as iconic representations are re-framed and rendered with new meaning in the subterranean climate of a car-park.

In 2003, the performance was invited by Cankarjev Dom in Ljubljana, Slovenia and was presented in the Vibafilm Movie Studios.
