Projection work
Nomad Films has been commissioned to create several unique, site specific projection works. Lifting image creation from the confines of a screen and onto textured, organic surfaces creates the opportunity for reimagining storytelling.
‘LORE’
LORE, is a 360 projection work that weaves knowledge from beyond time. Made in collaboration with local Indigenous families the immersive, large scale work celebrates connection to land and each other with stories, music and dances that have been passed from generation to generation through Indigenous Lore.
‘LORE’ was commissioned for Limelight festival, Albury/Wodonga 2022 and remounted in Yackandandah Victoria for NAIDOC week 2023
Living Room Project
The ‘Living Room Project’ is a collaborative multimedia work that creates a welcoming space for exploration of and connection to the stories of recently arrived refugees in the regional city of Albury. The project re-constructs a family living room with lounge suite, floor rugs, coffee table, lamp and an animated family photo wall. Visitors are invited to sit in the domestic space and engage with an intimate exchange of stories from the Albury community’s most newly arrived refugees.
The work is currently installed at Albury LibraryMuseum as part of its permanent collection.
Whimsy
'Whimsy' is a site specific bespoke treasure hunt that speaks to the child in each of us. A series of very small scale, playful projection works are installed along a walking trail for groups and individuals to discover as they follow a treasure map of clues. Designed to be an outdoor, safely distanced, projection experience 'Whimsy' encourages small groups to engage with fanciful, improbable imagery that could have sprung from any child's playful imagination.
The work was commissioned as part of the Albury Wodonga 2021 Upstream festival
Understories
As if springing from a child’s whimsical imagination UNDERSTORIES creates a secret, magical world where wanderers are enticed to play and discover the unexpected joy contained in these fanciful moments.
UNDERSTORIES was created for the 2021 Arbour festival held in the Pilot Hill Arboretum one year on from the devastating Black Summer fires.
Into the Forest
Pygmy Perch 360
Diorama Diaspora
The forest at night is a perfect canvas for creating a secret, magical world that speaks to the dreamer child in each of us.....
