xpace: External Space: 1st Place by Michelle Homonylo
Come to the Learning Zone this summer and check out Xpace Cultural Centre: External Space’s latest exhibition video, 1st Place by Michelle Homonylo.
Homonylo’s usage of Olympic found footage and her performance portraying an Olympic swimmer are carefully constructed using split screens and cut-away techniques, to create juxtaposition between a competitive sporting environment and domestic space.
Both settings convey the isolating, singular pursuit of excellence within their respective existence
Jon Lockyer
The video’s imagery is modeled after Homonylo’s roots in contemporary photography.
