Waiting for Change

Tired of waiting for change?

Frustrated about the lack of change?

Feeling impotent about change?

So much needs to Change.

‘Waiting for Change’ is a despondent reflection of the artists’ feelings and impotency around climate, environmental, political and humanitarian change. Feeling silenced, stuck in a loop and frozen as the world burns and crumbles.

Six masked, silenced figures in black wait at a train station in a psychological exploration of living in a time on the precipice of destruction. The simple somewhat boring postures captured in time-lapse and slowed down explore the frustration with waiting for systems to change.

The original soundtrack hears time ticking away beneath a haunting soundscape of surreal and disturbing noises as the dancers glitch and freeze.

Waiting for Change is a collaboration with Carolyn Cardinet, it was presented in 2023 in Hobart at LOOP, Hobart City Council.

In 2023 ‘Still Waiting for Change’ was presented as an installation at the Counihan Gallery, Merri-bek. Video on loop, projected onto an iceberg made from recycled plastic with sound.
