One of Several Centres
The video work One of Several Centres emerged from performative interactions between the people who live, work, and holiday in Alice Springs. A series of intimate video engagements reveal the ways people create, acculturate, and cope within the town. Its disparate voices are drawn together as a way of unravelling complex spaces that exist in-between our standard assumptions of Australia's 'centre.' Through purposefully ambiguous video documents the boundary between truth and invention is blurred, allowing the town to be re-imagined—revealing the contradictory and changing nature of this vast and complex place.
