The exhibition will feature audience favourites such as I Parking and III
Crossing (June Bum Park, South Korea), video works in which a car park and a
traffic intersection are transformed into play worlds for a giant¹s hands;
Pedestrian (Shelley Eshkar and Paul Kaiser, USA), a video work projected
onto a pavement depicting a miniature world where the inhabitants mimic our
own daily movements; and The Shy Picture (David MacLeod and Narinda Reeders)
which appears to be a small photograph hanging quietly on the gallery wall,
but gets stage fright when people approach.

VIDEO JUKEBOX

Screening at PICA as part of the Awesome Festival is a collection of quirky
and surprising short films and videos that capture, in different ways, the
desire to find the extraordinary within the ordinary and to represent the
possibilities that lie hidden within the fabric of our everyday lives.
Curated by Experimenta, Video Jukebox brings together the works of
Australian and international video artists, and offers some surprising
perspectives on the otherwise Œnormal¹ world around us.
