Terrarara Performances I

​

An ongoing body of work from Yimbaya Maranoa Art Collective's camping residency in 2024, held on Gunggari Country close to the Maranoa River, south western Queensland.​​ Hosted on the pastoral property "Terrarara" the collective experimented outdoors at night with light drawing, large scale projections and ephemeral installations, facilitated by Meanjin-based photographer and visual artist Marian Drew (www.mariandrew.com.au).

 

Working post camp with resulting materials, a series of studio-based digital collages and audiovisuals is emerging. Once again, attending to time on Country as more-than-human existential encounters within a multiplicity of temporalities is the lens for story-building. In costume, bodies shape-shift and the vital agencies of inanimate objects are released into tangling, overlapping or disruptive speculations, which always, if not obviously, connect back to the Maranoa.​​​​​
