THE PROJECTS
| PROJECT 1 PERSEPHONE |
||
| This is a self-portrait of the two artists Emily Fitzgerald and Josh Honeyman based on the Persephone myth. We focus on the aspect of the myth when Persephone only showed mercy once. Persephone allowed Orpheus to bring his wife Eurydice back to the land of the living as long as she walked behind him and he never tried to look at her face until they reached the surface. Orpheus agreed but failed, looking back at the very end to make sure his wife was following, and lost Eurydice forever. | ||

Emily Fitzgerald | PROJECT 2 NARRATIVE DRIVE
|
||
| Narrative exists as a force of nature- it is a basic human way of experiencing our place in the world. Narrative Drive is an audience-driven interactive sound and video installation that explores the centrality of narrative in human experience. The work takes as its starting point the idea that there is an innate “narrative drive” in human beings, which forces us to search out and impose narrative structure onto the random and chaotic nature of lived experience. Purpose-built for the Persephone’s Wolf installation program, Narrative Drive uses the sculptural facade of a car, parked in the Carriageworks foyer, as a vehicle for a metaphorical ‘drive’ through this story about storytelling. |

Jessica Tyrrell | PROJECT 3 CONSTELLATION
|
|||
| This clothes line is an experiment in trying to embody our perceptions of the universe with sound and light. Senses of space, depth, reflections and refractions are the concepts at the heart of the work. By using basic household objects, certain things can be seen and heard from certain places, and echoed in others - a walk-through that is different for every user. Performed by: Freya Franven, Adam Jeffrey, Ezmi Pepper, Kartini Suharto-Martin & Joe Littlefield. Thanks to Miles Fraser, Alan Logan, Jon Hughes. |

| PROJECT 4 THEATRES OF WAR
|
||
| My work generally centres on contemporary social issues. This time my thoughts turned to war, internment and loss. In a competitive and hostile world, moral truth does still exist. So too, however, can there often be a profound ambiguity about who is the aggressor and who the abused. This work explores some of the emotional implications of those relationships. |

| PROJECT 5 AN UN-MERRY-GO-ROUND./?
|
||
| This is like a revolving door, the only difference is that it doesn’t revolve. We revolve around it. Why is there a door standing in the middle of the room? I don’t know. What’s on the other side? The other side of the door. Curiosity may have killed the cat but a cat has nine lives. So. Like Persephone, feel free to be curious about your curiosity as you too, revolve around the door. |

Roslyn Helper| PROJECT 6 UNTITLED
|
||
| This short animation is a response to the representation of the female through myth and legend, which often work to instil notions of passivity and the female body as a place to be acted upon. A lovely oval-girl is born. The mis-adventures that follow in ‘Untitled’ confront the patriarchy of the Persephone myth through a warped re-telling. Persephone is the agent of her descent to the underworld and the underworld becomes an abstract place where Persephone can indulge all of her darkest desires. These self-objectifying, masochistic, and filicidal desires are beyond any typical feminine virtue, or even societal norms. Co written by Imogen Heath and Jamiee Edwards. Animated by Imogen Heath and Danny Southcombe |
