Gary Carsley
For more than 20 years Gary Carsley has been using sub-cultural performance genres like karaoke and ventriloquism as rhetorical models to investigate the complexities and contradictions of coloniality, outside the binary of victim and perpetrator. Carsley works primarily with the garden as a civilisationally plural expression that reformulates concepts of nature and belonging, the secular and the sacred. His decades-long exploration of acculturated landscapes acknowledges that in an Australian context all such images simultaneously visualise possession and dispossession.
