A creative re-imagining of the photographic novel Modern Odysseus recently published by FilmInk and features esteemed Australian actor Colin Friels.
Modern Odysseus is a visionary creation by a young author – a movie in book form. Told in blinding poetic prose it creates a Lynchian world of distrust and souldeath, satirising the slick excesses of the 21st century.
In this gallery installation, Julian Shaw interrogates the underlying themes and stories of his book, using raw materials from its original construction. Shaw looks to his own experiences in creating both the book and exhibition, in what has become a long-term labour of love spanning several years of his life. |
