Mythinterpret Triptych (Burning Man Australia Installation)

Collage on Canvas (3 canvases at 90x90cm). 2010.

Project Details:

  • 3 collages on canvas, 90cm x 90cm each (triptych total size 270cm x 90cm).
  • Collages created for an interactive art installation at Burning Seed Festival 2010.
  • Funded by Burning Man Australia.

Project Description:

In this collaborative project, two visual artists and one sound artist, devised an installation consisting of semi-abstract stream-of-consciousness collages created by Kitty and Ayla, that invited public interpretation. Playing upon the festival theme of Mythinterpret, the installation encouraged festival goers to interpret – or misinterpret – the collage messages into a portable sound recorder that was posted at the installation site. Festival goers could then listen back to other festival goers interpretations to the same works.

Project Members:

  • Ayla Marika – Visual Artist (3 x Collages)
  • Kitty von Lustbaden – Visual Artist (3 x Collages) – not shown in this post
  • Tim Duck – Sound Artist (sound installation and technical setup)
