In Residence at Bundanon

Performance artist Harriet Gillies and filmmaker Charlotte Mungomery will commence development on a speculative documentary moving image artwork titled ANTICIPATED COLLAPSE. This collaboration will be a cross pollination of performance and cinema that approaches collapse not as a singular event, but as an ongoing, deeply felt condition. The focus will be centred on research, experimentation and the creation of short filmed studies that form the groundwork for a longer project. They plan to leave with early structures, visual sketches and a deeper understanding of how the conceptual notion of collapse is inscribed into landscape. Bundanon will act not only as setting, but as collaborator in the process.
