Lisa Reihana Cinemania
26 metres of live action video.
Overview
If you haven't had the opportunity to see one of Lisa Reihana's innovative multimedia works, now's your chance. The renowned Aotearoa New Zealand artist's first Australian survey show features a collection of photographic and video works, including the much-talked-about In Pursuit of Venus [infected]. This massive panoramic video installation is a modern reimagining of the famous colonial nineteenth century wallpaper Les Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique. Spanning a width of 26 metres, the live action video uses cutting-edge digital technologies to animate and reinterpret the wallpaper, interrogating the complexities of colonisation, and historical and contemporary stereotypes.
