PLATEAU


​In a remote location in Iceland, dancer Gretel Taylor grapples with her sense of overwhelm at the unfamiliar landscape: ‘How can I even begin to be here?’ 

Photographer Laki Sideris and Taylor have been evolving a collaborative practice using the camera to bring remote ‘performances’ to audiences. The drone video offers vast context as well as insights at close proximity to the body’s sensory interactions with the environment.
PLATEAU was a featured exhibition at Head On Photo Festival, Sydney in 2019. https://www.headon.com.au/exhibitions/plateau
I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi wurrung and neighbouring Bunurong and Boon wurrung peoples of the eastern Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the unceded lands on which I live, work and dance. I pay deep respect to their Ancestors and Elders, past and present. I extend that respect to Traditional Owners of the many Countries on which I undertake my work and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. I 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.
