The Hidden Theatre Is an immersive work of sound and vision, first conceived
and created in residence at Bundanon Trust in 2021.This exhibition continues the
exploration with new adaptations filled with striking images of shadows and
light, resonates with spirits evoked from the natural world, revealing unseen
interactions of the elements of that country, together sound and image form a
meditation of the ancient knowledge and histories held within the earth, water
and skies in response to time spent in Wodi Wodi Country.
A collaborative project between celebrated Australian filmmaker, photographer and visual artist
Tim Georgeson and leading composer, performer and proud Kalkadunga
man, William Barton. It offers a personal account of the Bundanon land and
waterscapes through film, installation and sound.
Working together for the first time, Barton and Georgeson undertook an artistic
residency together at Bundanon composing, recording and experimenting in response to
Wodi Wodi Country. They continued this close collaboration offsite, weaving
together their responses through an ongoing exchange of material. Anchored
by Barton’s compositions, Georgesons films are edited in distinct acts, revealing
unseen interactions between sunlight, moonlight, fog and wind. Together, sound
and image form a meditation on the ancient knowledge and histories held
within the earth, water and skies of this place.
“The Hidden Theatre" takes us into the present, where the bush is alive with the ancient
indigenous spirits that have always lived there, as ancestors and allies”
- Tim Georgeson
