This project investigates how the human body can blend into a landscape of brightly coloured artificial materials and direct the viewing experience. The work will change, accumulate, layer and strip away throughout the exhibition in a series of performed and shifting installations. The function of these installations will be to create a shifting landscape for the viewer to explore and be asked Can you find the best way to see? This ‘best way’ will shift as the installation adapts.
The installation will be active and shifting:

Wednesday 13th:12-3pm
Thursday 14th: 12-6pm

Emma and Belle began their collaborative practice in 2015 while studying Visual Art (honours) and Dance respectively at the Victorian College of the Arts. After being mistaken for each other on campus with matching blonde bobs and pink outfits they quickly found their interests intersecting. Belle’s contemporary dance practice focuses on the idea of the body as a shifting material; and Emma utilises a range of materials as well as performance in her spatial investigations.These elements have come together to form a new visual vocabulary, which are used to explore humour, colour, perspective, the body, improvisation and creative, intuitive decision-making. This exhibition is the duo’s first public presentation of their ongoing collaborative developments.
