    We work in and around the lands, waters and skies of unceded sovereign Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung biik in the south-east of so-called ‘australia’. Through and beyond our work, we pay our respects to Elders of this Country, and to all Traditional Owners, and commit our support to their survival and liberation.

    Visitor information

    Image description:

    A person with bright orange and black hair tied in a ponytail clasps their bag strap while looking thoughtfully at an LED caption screen which reads, slightly blurred by moving text, ‘…ing bad is like actively trying to hurt’. It’s mounted to a wall painted deep gold.

    Beside the person, there’s a vintage boombox on a shelf painted the same colour as the wall. Squares of vintage carpet form an irregular shape against the edge of the polished concrete floor, where a video screen can be seen recessed into a rectangular white frame.

    At the edges of this photo, illustrative panels depict terraced fields on steep hills, an icy futuristic robot-tree with mechanical tree frogs and vines, and raised papier-mache motifs of totems and figures intended to evoke South- and Central-American heritage.

    In a store displaying magazines, books and sticker sheets for sale, a blurry, doughnut shape (which, it turns out, is a doughnut) frames a circular surveillance mirror in the far corner; a mirror that is reflecting an image of the shop from its vantage point across the room. Rectangular lights glow from the ceiling: glaring white quadrangles, some fringed with orange.
