Hi-Vis Futures, Canberra Museum + Gallery

Alexander Boynes, Mandy Martin, sound by Tristen Parr, curated by Virginia Rigney

16th November 2019 - 1st February 2020

From ‘eco’ to ‘FIFO’. From high-value to high-vis. This art installation encompasses the complex political, environmental and fundamental social issues that are occurring right now and for the visible future.

A collaboration between artists Mandy Martin, Alexander Boynes and musician Tristen Parr, Hi-Vis Futures is a sequence of sound, video projection and mixed media artworks depicting the intimate connection between industry, carbon emissions and the end of the fossil fuel era. From a lurid dawn to a massive open cut coal pit fire, these are dramas on an epic scale with fatal consequence.
