MATERIAL GIRL

At Melaka Arts and Performance Festival, Malaysia (2014), Gretel drew upon internationally recognisable pop songs from the '80s to today in the midst of a tourist market, to tread a fragile line between ecstasy and repulsion at consumer culture, our preoccupation with the superficial, and our yearning for love and connection. She performed a variation of this work for Mapping Melbourne at Federation Square, December 2015.

BodyPlaceProject is based on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people in Corhanwarrabul/Dandenong Ranges and Narrm/Melbourne, and undertakes work in many other locations. We pay deep respect to First Nations elders past and present, who have listened to Country and danced, sung and told stories in and about their places for millennia, to share knowledge and to care for Country and people. ​
​They are the first site-specific artists!
