72. Home, by Ian Strange (aka Kid Zoom)
Outpost Exhibition, Cockatoo Island, 2011
Taking the overnight train from Melbourne to Sydney, walking from Central Station and through the park in the early morning to the ferries, and taking the one to Cockatoo Island, for the street art event.
I would have liked to have been there, at the opening, when the three deep mauve Holdens were set on fire and Kid Zoom himself was smashing them with a sledge hammer, and I'm thinking I'd have wanted to join in.
The house is apparently a replica of the one he grew up in. But inside is a cinema of sorts, endlessly repeating the filmed sledgehammer attack on the burning cars. |
