Last year, during an Australia Council residency in Liverpool, UK, I shot this footage of the Matthew Street Festival from the window of my apartment. Originally a celebration of music by The Beatles, the festival now celebrates tribute bands from the UK, it is now so popular there is a huge police presence to control the masses.
Through the lens of my camera I saw individuals blur into a singular mass as the sound of creaking floorboards under my feet caught my attention. In stark contrast to rhythmic bass sounds that filled my senses I suddenly became conscious of myself as an individual amidst the millions. Similarly, I engage with cultural discourse from nerve centres like Berlin and London from a distance. The work reflects this – a process of integrating contemporary influence from afar, in a context of 'home'.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory board, and by the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy, an initiative of the Australian, State and Territory Governments.
