TBC Designed by Naomi Dawber/POP Studio.Dummy ewsprint catalog, 2022, 56pp, 25 x 19cm, softcover collected by the Martin Parr Foundation. ~ FULL PDF VERSION&nbsp;HERE &nbsp; Named after one man’s weakness for malapropisms and mixed-metaphor, How To Straddle A Barbed Wire Fence is a publication presenting images from the Queensland State Archives' photographic collection spanning the period 1980-1989, uploaded to the governmental account of a popular online image-sharing website without any indication that the Bjelke-Petersen regime behind their production was, in fact, a blithely corrupt hillbilly dictatorship. The Australian state of Queensland during Johannes ‘Joh’ Bjelke-Petersen’s premiership from 1968-87 ‘appeared to confirm the claim that every country has a South’ (Wear, 2010). The son of a Danish Lutheran pastor, former peanut farmer Bjelke-Petersen’s staunchly conservative, authoritarian rule was predicated upon a populist appeal to a misremembered ‘golden age’; the majority of agrarian Queensland’s population resided outside urban areas and Joh’s mandate had been carefully connected by wily press secretary Allen Callaghan to offer reassurance for those who felt ‘threatened or alienated by the complexity of modern urban life’ (Jones, 1987). This paternalistic, insouciant rhetoric was to foreshadow an atmosphere in which progressive thought was regarded with condemnation, expressions of dissent met with police brutality and investment in the mining and natural resources sector savagely prioritised at any cost. Isolated only further by a reputation cultivated in the imaginary as the most insular, intolerant outpost of an already hostile colonial frontier, the premier’s almost two-decade reign eventually imploded in the sweeping Fitzgerald Inquiry that exposed the endemic, wholesale corruption within the state’s political apparatus and lead to the jailing of police, ministers and the complete dissolution of the National Party’s government after 32 unchallenged years in power. Buffered with pull-quotes and historical news excerpts from state and federal media in an attempt to ‘correct' the archive, How To Straddle A Barbed Wire Fence mobilises this additional context to draw attention to the carefully constructed nature of its departmentally commissioned, state-sanctioned imagery; ostensibly created with a few to projecting a public image of Queensland as affluent, pastoral Promised Land during the Bjelke-Petersen era. The formal beauty of these radiant, flash-filled colour photographs is perhaps their most troubling quality — quite evidently the work of one (uncredited) photographer with a distinct visual signature, battling the unrelenting Queensland sun with deftness and a painter's eye. Such technical perfection simultaneously discloses too; in one picture a male public servant leans on the desk of a female co-worker, watching as she inputs data into a vintage computer workstation, a condescending if not innocuous gesture until his Playboy Magazine tie-pin is revealed by zooming into the image — a minuscule, yet damning detail that slips the net of such manicured, imperial propaganda. The photographs are reflexive in their subject matter too; many images 'expose' the machinery of public image production at state level as we are taken into the studios and darkrooms of governmental departments — forcing us as viewer to contemplate notions of archives as both sites of power and obfuscation. As the photographer and educator Lewis Bush keenly reminds us in his lucid summary of Alan Sekula’s touchstone The Body and The Archive (1986), ‘amongst all the instruments of domination to be invented in the modern era, one of the most powerful wasn’t the repeating rifle or the ironclad gunboat, but the filing cabinet’.

While he works editorially and commercially, his photographs adopt a wry, sociological frame in their exploration of lives and cultures mediated by the hyperobjects of climate change and late-capitalism; resisting the tropes of visual storytelling for a darker (but funnier?) take on the Desert of the Real.Max was a joint winner of the British Journal of Photography’s Portrait of Britain Award 2021 and his work How To Straddle A Barbed Wire Fence is part of the photobook collection of The Martin Parr Foundation.

The video is an altogether different thing, broader perhaps, but I can to speak to what the song is about: my experiences growing up in Australia’s self-described counterculture capital, the grift and predation of Wellness and the capture of ‘red-pilled’ influencers within its ranks by conspiracy theory — Q.Anon, RFK Junior’s anti-vaxx pseudoscience, 5G, the lunacy of the North American media ecosystem; conspiritualists in general harbouring a puritanical and dysmorphic obsession with The Self.&nbsp; Then of course there’s always monstrosities like billionaire ‘health hacker’ Bryan Johnson, who are a great reminder of where the California Ideology came from, which class helped install it and how it exerts its pull on our neo-serf lives. . Pinch Point, 2 channel HD video, 2023. • Inspired by the OVHCloud Data Center fire in Strasbourg in 2021, Pinch Point is a 2-channel video work that re-imagines the incident from the perspective of Sage, a fictitious blue-collar employee working nights at the facility. Part free-association and part confessional, Sage recounts experiences from her private life over public domain footage of a US defense program in her namesake (Semi Automatic Ground Environment) that reminds us of the military-industrial cosmogony of Silicon Valley.

Sovereignty was never ceded.&nbsp; For many years, a family friend worked as a spy. Shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union when the U.S.S.R had to move gear quickly he was sent on an assignment to meet up with an ex-Soviet general to inspect a fleet of submarines for purchase. Upon meeting the general, the operative asked cordially “Is this the first time you’ve been here?” referring to the picturesque harbour of the major city they’d met in, to which the Russian general replied with a quiet smirk “No - just the first time we’ve been ashore”. An exploration of the absurdity of the borders that nation-states create, enforce and fervently protect; Embassy sought to question the ongoing legitimacy of sovereign power in restricting the movement of displaced individuals and detaining those seeking asylum in a destablised world. Through the re-creation of an archetypal consular space, Embassy charted a course from the Petrov Affair to modern whistleblowers removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy, to examine the sinister and codified rituals of diplomacy. ︎ ‘STRANGE HOLIDAY’&nbsp; <img width="561" height="960" width_o="561" height_o="960"

Belalcázar, Spain, 2014.Produced as part of a two-month residency in Spain at LA FRAGUA,&nbsp;this mixed-media exhibition presented a suite of paintings, installations ,sculptures and photographs all centered around an exploration of the artificiality of holiday culture and ‘vacationing’; engaging the forgotten emblems of long-gone airlines, tropes of endless freeways and dusty one-horse towns, Strange Holiday sought to question the logic of travelling abroad when it is our own consumption-induced state of alienation&nbsp;we most seek to escape. ︎ HOME?&nbsp;
