Bundanon 2010.

'walking all over my friends' 2010, is a contemporary derive' through a perception of phenomena; a virtual miracle in which the artist's relationship to gravity is altered by the omniscient power of the 'Edit'.

Artist Daniel Kojta, directs colleagues to film the lower half of their bodies as they walk, and unites their movement with his torso in a choreographed 'derive' through the geography of a single body. The result presents Daniel (paraplegic) walking through the geography of Arthur Boyd's Bundanon as contemporary flaneur.
Contributing bipeds include: Claire Healy, Sean Cordeiro, Wade Marynowsky, Malcom Whittiker, Jack Mackey, Adam Cullen, Mark Bolotin, and others.

This project has been completed whilst on Residency at Arthur Boyd's 'Bundanon'. Many thanks to all staff of Bundanon and Accessible Arts.
The series including 'finding a Boyd in the kitchen cupboard', 'Into the Boyd' (after Klein), and 'Trap[ped]'; a series of survivalist traps re-engineered using everyday objects to capture the gaze, will be shown at the Shoalhaven City Arts Gallery during June. Details to follow.



The fascination of the mystery saturates my practice. By confronting the creative process through consistent explorations into the every day ambiguities of reality, illusion and perspective, my works assimilate the forces that comprise my understanding of perception and interaction.
