Divide
Dates:
17/02/2006
John Gillies’ digital film & installation Divide, features four men, 35 sheep, a Chinese opera singer and a horse, in a landscape with texts from the Old Testament. Historical consciousness of Australia’s British and European inheritance is at the heart of this visually stunning black and white film that re-views the influence of Christian rhetoric in discourses and images of colonial settler culture. With performances by Denis Beaubois, Ari Ehrlich, Xu Feng Shan, Matt Millay, Dalisa Pigram and Lee Wilson, this work is the latest development in a cinematic project deeply connected to the physical tradition of Sydney performance culture.
