Lynette Wallworth - Sydney Festival 2010
Sydney-based artist Lynette Wallworth presents her trilogy of interactive installations at the Sydney Festival 2010.
The trilogy was recently completed by Duality of Light, commissioned by the Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund and presented at the Anne & Gordon Samstag Museum this year in the Festival's Art and Moving Image strand. It completes a series of works that together investigate powerful human emotions, such as grief, loss and the re-emergence of hope. Wallworth makes skillful use of video and responsive technologies to create deeply emotional and human experiences.
The trilogy was begun in 2004 with Invisible by Night, commissioned by Experimenta, Melbourne. The work was a response to the site of the City's former morgue and features a grieving woman who, when beckoned by a touch on the screen, wipes away the condensation to meet eyes with her visitor.
Evolution of Fearlessness premiered at New Crowned Hope Festival, Vienna in 2006. This work features the portraits of 11 women who together represent the human instinct for survival and hope. Following persecution in their native countries, these women have rebuilt their lives in Australia.
Duality of Light is an immersive environment to be experienced by one person at a time. It allows each visitor to go on a unique and singular journey through a soundscape that challenges our perception of space. In navigating the installation environment, visitors will encounter others whose surprising presence reveals the Duality at the heart of the work.
