7 Sisters
00:01:30 2009 - Outdoor 4 Channel Projection Installation; Dimensions variable.
This 4-channel projection installation uses both front and rear projection. Made for a specific outdoor site the work reflects myths focusing on the Pleiades star constellation in particular the Aboriginal Dreamtime story of The Seven Sisters, among. In this version of the story seven sisters are chased through the Australian bush and turn into birds to return to their home in the stars. By using multiple projectors and screens hidden between the trees the figures appear as though they navigate their way between the trees in actual space. One large front projection links the scene by highlighting the trees in projected light blurring the boundary between what the viewing thinks is projected and what is actual.
