At dusk each night, floating on the River Torrens
outside the Adelaide Festival Centre, a beautiful traditional Chinese
Junk will drift by with sails set and filled with moving image.
Films, photographs, maps, portraits and text are woven together
with a soundscape wafting from
her decks.
Produced by arts company Big hART, Junk Theory is an evocative
representation of an iconic beachside suburb in all its ugliness
and beauty.
The “Theory of Junk” explores why something
that was once new loses value, becomes redundant and then gains
value again. In 2005, the Sydney suburb of Cronulla came to symbolise
many communities in Australia that are changing, sometimes creating
anger, fear and retribution as one culture is seen as less valuable
by another.
