Just uploaded some images from a photo shoot and filming at a wrecker’s in Coburg a while ago. The shoot was for a 5 minute video ‘T-Wrecks’, exploring the life of someone living alone in a car wreckers, for an exhibition called ‘The Future is A Wonderfully Fucked Place” at the legendary White House gallery in Brisbane. ‘T-Wrecks’ was actually made up of 40 small video clips that played randomly on a DVD player at the gallery, so the photos and video were mostly just trying to set the post-apocalyptic scene, with occasional glimpses of my friend living his daily life amongst the wreckage. And a monkey masked girl wearing a strap-on in the back of a panel-van.
Car wreckers are such visually potent and fun places to visit, full of crazy textures and colours for later tweaking. Also had much fun combining some of the car wreck photos into panoramas within qtvr software, then tweaking the qtvr software in weird ways to provide these kind of twisted panoramic strips. Will upload the video to the wonderful archive.org video hosters some time soon. Photos here for now.
