A
Walk up the Hill in Six different Countries - video SD. 60 Mins. 2002
6 minute excerpt below:
A Walk Up
the Hill in Six different Countries is a sort of immersive video game
pan through the landscapes of the Australian bush, breathlessly narrated
by descriptions of the imaginary topologies of the Isle of Dionysis, Shangri-La,
Narnia, and Utopia. Virtual landscapes that have been drawn from the experience
of landscapes and which in turn shape and narrate our own understandings
of the world. Here, they are the imported stories that have overlaid and
erased the previous narratives that spoke the land in ways that we can now
never know.
From catalogue statement - A
Diary, a History, a Walk up the Hill - Experimental Art Foundation,
