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....

lighthouse at dusk, sugarloaf point, which is around a few hills from seal rocks, central new south wales coast, eastern seaboard of australia . . . it was dark when we returned to the beach house . . . i cooked persian lamb accompanied with rice festooned with slivered almonds, dates and apple, and some salads of carrot and tomato with plum vinegar (my twin said i was brave to mix red with orange), and cauliflower with lemon and parsley from the garden. . . sadly in the haste of eating i forgot to take a photo for TNL
