Behind the scenes of Gaia Retouched: A little teaser
Stills: Alexander Papasavvas
Gaia Retouched (ARTIST STATEMENT)
The ubiquitous cult of consumerism wreaks havoc on our natural universe. In the obsessive pursuit of mineral wealth, unsustainable & systematic human sabotage threatens to disrupt our very existence whilst faceless corporates pay lip service to the eco concept at the cost of balance. A world of diminishing returns. The Gaia Principle dictates the interconnectedness of everything. Life & death are a cycle. Even for planets. Does our expediation of this fit a much larger picture ultimately eradicating the human race from existence? Is there life after Earth? Or Earth after us.You can see Gaia Retouched at artRiot Saturday 18th sept and next Saturday 25th Sept from 12-2pm as part of Sydney Fringe Festival. We will be there if you'd like to have a chat.The rest of the exhibition is open Wed- Sun 11am-3pm- you can see our experiment of oil purified by hair (or whats left of it) and our ECO tm moss art satire.
Whilst your there, gorge on the gingerbread prison, eat sunflower seeds and get educated, witness micro bats and goliath beetles super tech'd soldiers and marvel the wall art pieces of comic, photographic and mosaic beauty. If not to only sneak a peak at the upstairs of the Annandale Hotel- a Twin Peaks set of red drapes and checkered tiles!(** enter through the restaurant around the side to avoid confusion..)
