Walking to the edge of a small cliff is a video installation by Brisbane-based artist Benjamin Crowley presented inside the CLUTCH Collective truck for BARI Festival, 2016. The work will be a reiteration developed from previous works created during Crowley’s 2014 Iceland residency.
The video documents a gesture in which the artist kicks rocks off a small cliff into a river below. The performance is filmed from a point-of-view perspective and presented on a screen floating off the rear end of the truck body.
Walking to the edge of a small cliff is formally structured to offer a kinaesthetic experience upon approach from within the truck’s body. This participatory event causes the viewer to embody the forlorn gesture implied by the figure in the footage and become object and subject for spectators.
Event Address: 14 Helen St, Teneriffe QLD 4005
This project is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
