Fremantle Biennale
‘What a lovely change room, with a perfect view! Perhaps it is, but perhaps it is something more. Stay a while, close yourself in the shadows, let your eyes adjust to the indistinct, to the obscure. Take time to see what you cannot.’
Mt Eyk participated in an installation called ‘Unit’ which formed one of the events at the Fremantle Biennale 2019. ‘Unit’ comprised of 13 temporary architectural/landscape installations on 13 selected waterfront sites at Fremantle’s Western edge.
Our installation functions as a camera obscura and was located on ‘Bathers Beach’. The installation invites the public to interact with the ocean view through two representations. The first view is framed by a window which can be manually opened and closed using a pulley system, when the window is closed the space darkens, your eyes adjust, and the second view is projected through the pinhole as an inverted image displayed on the internal walls.
