This ACMI touring exhibition highlights the opportunity video offers artists to use editing as their primary technique; mixing and matching elements from other films or their own work to tell new stories. By re-mixing or re-arranging footage, they build different rhythms and moods, create hilarious juxtapositions or shed new light on cultural cliches and presumed histories.
Six works by Kaylene Whiskey, Jason Phu, Deborah Kelly, Zanny Begg, and David Rosetzky demonstrate an irrepressible desire to bring deep themes to the surface with humour and attention to detail.
