Performances
“Your work is based on your performances in the Australian bush. How are you going to import this into France? Did you plan something?”
“Indeed. I hope to perform live in the gallery on opening night and to recreate one of my video works in the space. The main intention here is to allow the audience to see the work in its raw form. So often when I am creating it is me alone with my camera in the bush and I always hope that the final work makes the audience feel like they were right there with me. I hope the performance is a way to create that feeling but in the physical.”
