Justene Williams: The Curtain Breathed Deeply

These video installations lay somewhere between The Mighty Boosh and your childhood birthday parties.

Overview

This latest exhibition from the Monash University Museum of Art is inviting you into another world. Dark, surreal and strangely alluring, the work of Sydney-based artist Justene Williams is a dark riff on reality. And, in this new series of video installations, she draws you into the most entrancing set of images you've seen since your first episode of The Mighty Boosh.

Though her creations appear other-worldy and even magical, they surprisingly find their origin in the mundane. Williams has stated the works were very much inspired by her now-deceased father, his work and the life they shared together. Accordingly, many of the sets in her work are composed of or decorated with everyday materials like inflatable pools and barbecues.

Regardless, we suggest leaving your rationality at the door with this one; this is a collection of works best experienced by submitting yourself to its total hypnotism.
