Winter Rains

Last signs of winter, the heavy rains, the bare branches. Each rain brings memories of the drought which the land has been suffering for years. And the heat waves which are becoming more intense. Summer brings its own dread.

Bloom Where You're Planted

The opening moments of "Bloom Where You're Planted" by local artist Tangerine Meg. The animation was projected on the back wall of the church (on Wakefield St, Adelaide, near the bus depot).

This was one of a number of short video pieces projected at various laneway and parking lot locations during a night time walk as part of the Moving Image program at the annual South Australian Living Artists festival. Bloom Where You're Planted literally grew around the doorway, and was quite magical to watch. The projection unit itself consisted of a man wearing a TV top hat, and riding a retro-fitted bike which had a platform for a video projector, battery unit and sound speaker. He was assisted by another person wearing a strange beaked outfit reminiscent of a 17th century plague doctor. (You might find an image of them in The Gleaners gallery here in the next days).

It was a great thing to do on a chilly night in Adelaide, aka Sleepy Hollow -- a winter drift, a temporary autonomous zone on the move....

The Sea-Devils were relatives of the Silurians in early 70's Dr Who, a sci-fi television programme in Britain. It is common knowledge that, even today, this low-tech series instills fear in young children causing them to take refuge behind the sofa...

Whilst Olympic spectaculars concentrate on tired tropes of nation, other ways of collectively being, living and working together continue to bubble up from the underground wellsprings. TAA - There are alternatives! We can, as Zapatista spokesperson Subcomandante Marcos suggested at the First Intercontinental Encuentro in August 1996, "tear off the clothes that resignation has woven for us and cynicism has dyed grey".¹

fromGeorge Perec's 'Street' (1974): 'Unitl the whole place becomes strange, strive to picture to yourself, with the greatest possible precision, beneath the network of streets, the tangle of sewers, the lines of the metro, the invisible underground proliferation of conduits (electricity, gas telephone lines, water mains, express letter tubes), without which no life would be possible on the surface'.
