The horizon, my body, the wall
photograph
This photograph is part of a series title ‘my body, the wall’ that communicates something of my relationship to the structure of my home and body in regard to ideas of the horizon during the period of lockdown in Melbourne last year. My relationship with the horizon blurred over the time of lockdown, its horizontality, breadth and span were replaced with the short-sighted vertical planes of the walls of my home and garden. Through much of my life this line across the landscape has been a structuring framework, both as an idea and a location. With no horizon to intercept my vision and no space to negotiate with my body, I felt indivisible from the architecture of my house. Laying on the floor I would try to transform my view and allow the verticality of the wall to reshape into the horizontality of distance.
Rebecca is interested in the physical intersections between temporal histories and material realities embedded in place and landscape. She utilises a range of media, sculpture, drawing, and photography, to create installation works that tell different stories and articulate unseen information, experiences, and connections about the sites she investigates. Rebecca is currently a PhD candidate at RMIT University in the School of Art. In 2015 she completed Master of Contemporary Art at VCA/Melbourne University. Recent exhibitions include Knot Not at Bus Projects, Shut Up Mountain at c3 Contemporary Art Space and Shut Up Mountain/Topology at the Bundoora Homestead for the 2019 Darebin Art Prize. www.rebeccadelange.com
