Around two years ago, while rummaging through the opp-shop at the Reservoir Tip, I came across the typewritten, hand annotated script for a slide presentation. This video work is a reconstruction of that presentation, which was probably last delivered some thirty to forty years ago.
Because the original projector slides are now lost, I have had to recreate the lecture’s visual component from scratch, by typing brief sections of the script into Google Images and using the most plausible result of each search.
This creates a kaleidoscopic set of juxtapositions of subjects and pictorial conventions, set to the mundane and self-assured audio track of an educational slide-lecture.

Trocadero sits on the traditional lands of the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We offer our respects to Elders past and present, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
In 2021, Trocadero launched a collection of limited edition giclée prints, a snazzy tote bag and an exclusive colouring book, celebrating 17 years of Trocadero history.
