JUSTENE WILLIAMS
A panoramic, black and white, text-based work is projected onto the Total Health Building in downtown Southport. Using a blockish, architectural typeface, a story scrolls across the wall, each word mirrored below, creating a optical illusion of morphing geometric shapes. Double vision and obscuration, shifting forms and self-reflection, experience Mirror Mirror by renowned Australian artist Justene Williams and let the hypnosis unfold.
Born 1970, Sydney, New South Wales. Lives and works Brisbane, Queensland. Justene Williams is a key figure of the Australian art scene of the 1990s, working across different media including photography, video, performance, installation and sound. Her early work revolved around photography and utilised the ad hoc nature of disposable cameras and one-hour printing labs. The locations for these early photographic projects were sites of public recreation such as shopping centres, car shows and strip clubs. In recent work she has constructed elaborate sets and costumes made from collaged paper and a variety of waste or refuse materials.
