Kandos Carapace, 2017,

Digitised Film.

Kandos and bust: A journey from the central wheatbelt of Western Australia where the main agriculture is grains, canola, hay and sheep on a broadacre basis, to Kandos New South Wales in the ex-cement belt. Recording from a suspect [i.e. it’s re-shaped] Home Carapace Toyota camper covered in aluminum [tin] foil, a silver nomad, a sculptural definition of an interactive environment, tagged by the journey itself. Will it actually make it? Will we be arrested for driving an artwork? This is a desperate attempt to continue the good work done by artists in regards to gentrification with the added possibility of rapid response to the speed of the revolution in country communities as unsustainable fossilised industries are replaced with art or sustainable means of survival even when it’s a spare parking space and a community garden with a worm farm … there may even be some late-night movies.

An escape journey from Australia to New York for a bike messenger delivery between the World Trade Centre and Empire State Building.
