24 Metres of Active Screens
2020

Plunge is a bespoke Moving Image work commissioned by the City Of Adelaide’s Public Arts Grant program. The project charismatically explores the collapsed 108 year history of the Adelaide City Baths - from their creation in 1861 to their closure, to make way for the Festival Centre, in 1969. In the work history is condensed. We see 1880’s bathers paddling next to 1950’s swimmers. 

The project is designed to engage with the ongoing, evolving history of the site as a community space. The work, created specifically for the Adelaide Festival Centre, plays across 24 metres of digital screens in the heart of Adelaide’s cultural precinct.
