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
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!
