This sculpture responds specifically to Roxby Downs, a remote town 600km North of Tarndanya (Adelaide). Established in 1988 on Kokatha Country, Roxby Downs is a purpose-built community founded to service BHP’s Olympic Dam mine. Over the course of several research trips to Roxby, I conducted a series of workshops with young people from 4-18 years old. These sessions included filming, sound recording, and creative writing, and were co-facilitated with other artists and writers. Influenced by the young people I met and their interests, Magic Cave is an absurdist fantasy interpretation of life underground. Combining feelings of doom and play, materials that are reminiscent of childhood joy also speak to confinement, confusion and entanglement. How can the work of a family member shape the lives of the entire family? The use of mouse, bird, rat, rabbit, guinea pig, cat, hermit crab and dog cages is influenced by the presence of exotic pets in Roxby, including macaws, scorpions, a hairless cat, snakes, and barking geckos.&nbsp; But the cages also reflect on what it means to possess something precious. I made this work to explore how the personal and domestic are inextricably enmeshed within much broader social systems of economy, labour and value. The co-facilitators on the youth workshops mentioned above were Liam Somerville, Thomas McCammon, Autumn Royal, Benen Hamon, Katrina Penning, and Eloise Fuss. This project is closely connected to I take care of what’s mine, and my research has been supported by the University of South Australia Samstag Museum and the Adelaide Film Festival EXPAND Lab commission fund.

Kurt and I were one of these pairs, and we were invited to create a new work in response to The Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA) and their permanent collection. Over 12 months, Kurt and I had behind-the-scenes access to understand the inner workings of the gallery, meeting and interviewing many different staff members including curators, librarians, volunteers, installers, builders and security staff. This, paired with Kurt’s interest and rich knowledge of food and nutrition, guided us to first develop a performance work called Nutritional Index, a series of mixed media images, a map, and a two channel video work.The performance work sees Kurt and I play hybrid characters – nutritionists and art historians from the Australian Bureau of Cultural Dietetics Eating For Good Health (A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.). Throughout the tour Kurt and I speak to several artworks on display within AGSA’s galleries, using nutrition as a lens through which to understand the works in a different light. Audience members are issued with level 3 security clearance lanyards upon arrival, and we are accompanied by 4 security staff (played by members of The Bait Fridge), and after 1 hour of moving through the galleries, we finish the tour with a Nutribullet smoothie using ingredients referencing the artworks throughout the tour. Following the tours, Kurt and I are working with a third collaborator, Eloise Holoubek, to make a video work relfecting on our time working in the collection, called The Impressive Vibrant Fantasy Buffet: Five Essential Rules to Achieve a Rodin Torso in Under Two Months (see below for a preview). The two channel video work was featured at the Art Gallery of South Australia during SALA Festival in August 2022. The video work was awarded both the Digital Nutritional Index was supported by Tutti Arts, the Art Gallery of South Australia, The Department of Premier and Cabinet, and the Adelaide Fringe Festival. I would like to express my deepest thanks to project curator Belinda Howden, for her amazing efforts and support in the development and delivery of this work. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ︎︎︎ Back to projects homepage https://emmalinezanelli.com/Dynamic-Drills-2019-2021 Fri, 10 May 2019 07:12:36 +0000 EMMALINE ZANELLI https://emmalinezanelli.com/Dynamic-Drills-2019-2021 Dynamic Drills 2019 - 2021 Dynamic Drills proposes that memory is a group exercise, and furthermore, it is work. Drawing on my paternal grandmother, Mila Zanelli, and her history as a manufacturing worker, these videos experiment with parallels between the aesthetics of manufacturing, the functions of memory, and the relationship of the body with the machine. Mila has been a manufacturing worker across multiple different industries including the car, wool, poultry and fashion industries, and her mother also worked in manufacturing, in a mother-of-pearl button factory. A foundational element of all manufacturing is repetition — many people performing the same or similar tasks all at once, a mass choreography of pushing forward, pumping out, following patterns. Over the course of a 30-minute montage, Mila and I engage in combinations of functional, futile and symbolic work and exchange. Dynamic Drills suggests a procedure for formulating and distributing legacy using the home as a factory.The metaphor of the machine plays a central role in the project. Placed in contrast to our DIY constructed domestic work and training zones, are voiceovers of my grandmother reciting appropriated texts taken from Italian Futurist manifestos. The early 20th century futurists dreamt of (and fought towards) a hyper-mechanised future, where mass industrialisation and technological advancement would mean that the gap between the human and the machine would dissolve, and people could abandon the weight of tradition. For my grandmother and I, these manifestos have functioned to draw new parallels between the home and the factory floor through the absurd metaphors of the futurists, but have also helped us to find conviction in our beliefs in the certain aspects of memory production, transfer, and training that cannot be explained through the metaphor of the machine, and instead require more abstract interpretation. Themes of labour, family relationships, and the connection of the body and the machine were fundamental from the beginning of Dynamic Drills. However, more recently the work has also increasingly brought up questions surrounding care, ageing, worth/value and support, which have begun to guide the project. <img width="3140" height="1864" width_o="3140" height_o="1864" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0c6e032fe608f28829eb439bc724931ec21be6f27b0530b2a4930570f0dae9ac/ZANELLI_Emmaline_The-City-Rises.jpg" data-mid="72832727" border="0" data-scale="100" alt="The City Rises (Dynamic Apricot Harvesting Drill), video still, 2019" data-caption="The City Rises (Dynamic Apricot Harvesting Drill), video still, 2019" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0c6e032fe608f28829eb439bc724931ec21be6f27b0530b2a4930570f0dae9ac/ZANELLI_Emmaline_The-City-Rises.jpg" /> <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/938f1d4ec0076e6dfb462e02378eab29b0bf9bcb858525d684723953bf29d8a7/ZANELLI_EMMALINE_2019_The-Cyclist_Dynamic-Distribution-Drill.jpg" data-mid="72833068" border="0" alt="The City Rises (Dynamic Apricot Harvesting Drill), video still, 2019" data-caption="The City Rises (Dynamic Apricot Harvesting Drill), video still, 2019" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/938f1d4ec0076e6dfb462e02378eab29b0bf9bcb858525d684723953bf29d8a7/ZANELLI_EMMALINE_2019_The-Cyclist_Dynamic-Distribution-Drill.jpg" /> <img width="3840" height="2119" width_o="3840" height_o="2119" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a728e24715fd3bc9cea7797f388a4d83d185e5e44d4a523ead7d20e2a584f268/ZANELLI_EMMALINE_2020Areopittura-Lunch-Drill.jpg" data-mid="72832880" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a728e24715fd3bc9cea7797f388a4d83d185e5e44d4a523ead7d20e2a584f268/ZANELLI_EMMALINE_2020Areopittura-Lunch-Drill.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1156" width_o="2000" height_o="1156" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/31d9cd5cb6a4ee8fe51f2929b44a658bcd059fa46492db2594c21f9a280753e7/Emmaline-Zanelli_2019.jpg" data-mid="99792951" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/31d9cd5cb6a4ee8fe51f2929b44a658bcd059fa46492db2594c21f9a280753e7/Emmaline-Zanelli_2019.jpg" /> <img width="3356" height="1888" width_o="3356" height_o="1888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/07423cb630219ba0efe44956397497521d7b71a7dcbb7c690526d581273814fe/Screenshot-2020-05-27-14.50.31.png" data-mid="72834562" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/07423cb630219ba0efe44956397497521d7b71a7dcbb7c690526d581273814fe/Screenshot-2020-05-27-14.50.31.png" /> <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d535e648a4155b627f90c8b67f994fdaf30b61f51c177f06d739dfaaad186271/ZANELLI_EMMALINE_2019_Unique-Forms-of-Continuity-In-Space_Dynamic-Wool-Washing-Drill.jpg" data-mid="72832876" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d535e648a4155b627f90c8b67f994fdaf30b61f51c177f06d739dfaaad186271/ZANELLI_EMMALINE_2019_Unique-Forms-of-Continuity-In-Space_Dynamic-Wool-Washing-Drill.jpg" /> <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aa51728ae0104bc41d5005d1d31cbc8c0d13328a1667b8315cadea23b3ce4d01/ZANELLI_Emmaline_Aeropittura-Game-.jpg" data-mid="72834448" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aa51728ae0104bc41d5005d1d31cbc8c0d13328a1667b8315cadea23b3ce4d01/ZANELLI_Emmaline_Aeropittura-Game-.jpg" /><img width="3276" height="1840" width_o="3276" height_o="1840" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f67945b6fe78b4a4b87c729ff6416e7e10aa467e972a87862fe784338236521b/Screenshot-2020-05-20-15.12.48.png" data-mid="72834581" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f67945b6fe78b4a4b87c729ff6416e7e10aa467e972a87862fe784338236521b/Screenshot-2020-05-20-15.12.48.png" /><img width="3360" height="1882" width_o="3360" height_o="1882" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4e28e3542042303b80d8a2131429e3abcda568bbe81fa8ea569dbccae59d7688/Screenshot-2020-05-20-16.06.40.png" data-mid="72834592" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4e28e3542042303b80d8a2131429e3abcda568bbe81fa8ea569dbccae59d7688/Screenshot-2020-05-20-16.06.40.png" /><img width="5824" height="3883" width_o="5824" height_o="3883" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4f7f4e071c613b3c1ab23fbda3c30be0ee9e6c03a61666a751ead6b1f6b7e428/ZANELLI_E_DynamicDrills_ACE-Open_.jpg" data-mid="84852381" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4f7f4e071c613b3c1ab23fbda3c30be0ee9e6c03a61666a751ead6b1f6b7e428/ZANELLI_E_DynamicDrills_ACE-Open_.jpg" />Installation view at ACE Open.

All surfaces resound or echo in some way, perhapssoftening or distorting, directly reiterating or if the surface allows there is the potential fortotal absorption. To resound, unbound explores the possibilities of this resounding, seeingthe artist adapt or unbind that which comes to them, molding it to their artistic will, to thenresound it back through artistic expression.Echoing throughout all four exhibition spaces, To resound, unbound presents a series of newcommissions and significant works from emerging and established lens-based practitionersfrom across Australia. This group of eight artists explore themes concerning knowledge,memory, identity, trauma, representation and time, typically found in both societal andcultural structures and narratives.The ways in which the artists engage with these rich themes sees a range of diverse materialoutcomes, such as Hootan Heydari’s tome of 1,979 plaster-dipped photographs, presentingshrouded fragments of traumatic (and joyfully familial) memory whose number reflect therevolution the artist and his family fled. Sanja Pahoki’s installation of wallpaper, neon,photography, video and security mirrors continues this discussion of memory, explicitlyexplored through the idea of a “transitional object”, while also talking to larger ideassurrounding transitions and separations, and the parental gaze. These highly conceptualconcerns are explored throughout the exhibition, seeing Callum McGrath working withmusicological presentation to display pages from his anonymous family photo-albumcomposed of public memorials dedicated to queer subjects and communities, questioninghow queer history and collective memory requires unconventional archival approaches. SaraOscar continues this discussion of the photographic archive, using the metaphor of ‘ruins’ tolook to her colonial past — tracing it through her late grandfather’s involvement inHollywood cinema in India, Oscar considers its bearing on the male bodies within the artistsfamily, and finds the trauma of British colonialism in fragments.Traditional modes of photography have significant representation within To resound,unbound. In a gridding of photographs across one of the gallery’s largest walls, Anne Moffatexplores her maternal grandmother’s suffering of late-stage Alzheimer's, a work of dualitythat portrays Moffat’s experience of watching her grandmother lose her independence andsense of self while the artist attempted to understand her own. A vast array of imagesspanning over 10 years of artist Jessica Schwientek's life further the exhibition’s diversedisplay of the photographic image. Schwientek presents both silver gelatin hand prints andcolour giclee prints that combine intimate portraiture, empty spaces and abandoned objects,a collection of mirrors and shadows that are all representational of the self. Video work byHannah Brontë heightens the “moving” of the moving image, a work that ebbs and flows —or swells — with the water that bulges across all corners of the planet, talking of time and theabsorption of one energy transmuted into a multitude of new energies. Here Brontëspecifically draws on the gestations of us — human beings, while also looking at the sphericalnature of the world and the way in which we come through and leave it. While EmmalineZanelli uses video to house the making of an image, enlisting her grandmother alongside her comrades to depict a key moment in Futurist history: Marinetti’s car crash, here renderedthrough a domestic conveyor belt on egg pasta with the assistance of cuttlefish ink.The remarkable diversity of all artistic elements — medium, concept, experimentation,research, fabrication — reveals a group of artists that are truly immersed in their subjectmatter and the optimal ways in which a myriad of themes can unbind themselves. To thenresound anew, each echoes across CCP’s spiraling chain of galleries as though through aMedieval circular trumpet; each work produces a “buzzing” that triggers a standing wavevibration within the space, extending outwards as a holistic representation of new creativestructures and narratives. &nbsp; &nbsp; —————————————————————————————————————————————— Emmaline Zanelli’s newly commissioned video work and accompanying prints are an extension on her recent artistic proposition that memory is a group exercise, and furthermore, it is work. Titled Crash Factory (Dynamic Decomposition) in reference to Futurist Umberto Boccioni’s painting of the same name, in content the video work — which documents the printing of an image — directly links to the moment the Futurist ideology really sparked, when Filippo Tommaso Marinetti crashed his car in 1908. The production of Zanelli’s photograph sees the artist’s grandmother, Mia, and her friends working together in a suburban dining room to create multiple copies of this key Futurist image onto sheets of pasta using an etching press. By considering parallels between aesthetics of manufacturing and the mechanics of memory, and proposing family legacy as a form of collective repetitive production, Zanelli’s work is distinctly misaligned with the violent prophecies of the Futurists, serving to instead heighten the relationship between the domestic and the industrial. <img width="2756" height="1656" width_o="2756"

Water Meter Reader is influenced by my father and younger brother’s work within the industry of water. Responding to their respective careers, this body of work extends upon my interest in themes of labour and production, as well as working with family members. A mix of sculptural and photographic works are guided by information about commercial management of domestic household water and waste in South Australia.&nbsp; The photographic works developed during this residency are photograms of designs inspired by footage I saw over my dad’s shoulder whilst he was on work a Zoom meeting showing the dark and wet insides of drain pipes, taken by remote control roving cameras, using the fumbling unlit wetness of the darkroom process to further imagine the interior view of drains. The pipe, the hollow worm, the waterslide, the dirty drain, the escape route, the kinked hose, the tree root weaving fingers into ceramic passageways… &nbsp; The sculptural element of Water Meter Reader is a water feature, using mixtures of plumbing and irrigation fittings and pipes, made in collaboration with my brother along with artist/poet/gardener Banjo Weatherald and artist Kaspar Schmidt Mumm. Fountain of 4 Drains reflects on the iconic fountains of Rome which can be found listed in order of beauty on many “Must-See” travel blogs. The famous fountains of Rome were designed and built to provide fresh running water to the people of the city, and their designs feature epic fusions of deities and aquatic life in honour of the sacredness and perhaps magic of clean water. In our water feature, we have — instead of depictions of deities and sublime animals — used a variety of unremarkable and recycled materials used in domestic and urban water usage, in an attempt to elevate the central role of these objects in providing us with water in our domestic lives. Fountain of 4 Drains is a cyclical flow, using 3 fish-pond pumps to move in both a cyclical figure-eight flow and a second looping drain into 3 buckets, giving the illusion and sound of a plentiful supply and flow but ultimately pushing the same few hundred litres over and over, as is typical of household water&nbsp; In making this, we were thinking about the illusion of unending supply, and wondering what our future attitudes towards the magic of urban water systems might be. ︎︎︎Footage from roving drain cameras in Adelaide. ︎︎︎Documentation of Fountain of 4 Drains,&nbsp; water feature made from mostly recycled irrigation and plumbing materials.

A suite of ambitious new lens-based commissions plots a pathway through the Gardens and leads visitors on a journey of discovery. The landscape itself is enlisted as an exhibition partner, with each installation mapped according to its surrounds. All of the featured artists engage with the Gardens’ history and draw reference from its rich archival holdings. Garden Variety challenges the idea that a garden exists and functions as an idyllic and politically neutral space. Sensitive to the symbolism attached to the site, the exhibition addresses the many functions and identities of Melbourne Gardens. The Gardens are a picturesque landscape and a scientific institution but also a marker of colonisation and an occasional backdrop for displays of soft power. They are a place for pleasure but also political performance, a civic space that carries (horti)cultural capital. Featuring new work by Yvonne Todd, Grace Wood, Steven Rhall, Luke Parker, James Nguyen and Emmaline Zanelli. <img width="1500" height="2000" width_o="1500" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/545f95232aa8811c68be2e2f511aaa760e9c2a6de9ac3ab91a600d148727d7ba/Emmaline-Zanelli_Shooting-Snizzards-Golden-Apple_2020-copy.jpg" data-mid="126445821" border="0" alt="Riley as Kimberly shooting Snizzard's Golden Power Apple, 2020, digital photograph of collage, dimensions variable" data-caption="Riley as Kimberly shooting Snizzard's Golden Power Apple, 2020, digital photograph of collage, dimensions variable" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/545f95232aa8811c68be2e2f511aaa760e9c2a6de9ac3ab91a600d148727d7ba/Emmaline-Zanelli_Shooting-Snizzards-Golden-Apple_2020-copy.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="2667" width_o="2000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/03bfe2ad2ed6f81c442ea20ef9f7aa9f1662a19297c106c1e638a7f7fa5e7b30/Emmaline-Zanelli_The-Toxic-Avenger_How-To-Make-Apple-Sauce-At-Home_2020.jpg" data-mid="99280320" border="0" alt="The Toxic Avenger: How to make Apple Sauce at Home, 2020, digital photograph of collage, dimensions variable" data-caption="The Toxic Avenger: How to make Apple Sauce at Home, 2020, digital photograph of collage, dimensions variable" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/03bfe2ad2ed6f81c442ea20ef9f7aa9f1662a19297c106c1e638a7f7fa5e7b30/Emmaline-Zanelli_The-Toxic-Avenger_How-To-Make-Apple-Sauce-At-Home_2020.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="2615" width_o="2000" height_o="2615" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9033a7d247b6ce35fbb1ad448b5e464a821967060aac57aa41eefc4f85fd902e/Emmaline-Zanelli_Willy-Shirley-Dali-Archer_2020.jpg" data-mid="99280321" border="0" alt="Jumping Ship to Shoot the Captors!

On my first visit to the Gardens, I rode on the back of the staff buggy with Mark Lowry who took me on a comprehensive tour of the gardens. I didn’t know who William Tell was, and so I asked Mark, and he proceeded to hum the William Tell Overture to me, which of course I immediately recognised. The first thing it took me to was a mental playback of Looney Tunes’s Porky and Daffy cat ’n’ mouse style chase, which is backed by the famous overture from Gioachino Rossini’s 1829 opera. And then when I go home and talk to someone else and I hum them the tune they say, “oh that’s the Lone Ranger theme song”. So I am already starting to feel confused about this mythical fragmented character of William Tell... - William Tell is a legendary figure in Swiss history, although wether he was in fact a real, singular person appears to be debated. In 1307, what is now Switzerland was under the rule of Austria. In an act of political resistance, Tell publicly refuses to salute the hat of the Austrian ruler, Albrecht Gessler, as the ruler and his men pass through a local marketplace. As punishment for his disobedience, Tell is arrested. But Gessler has heard that Tell is an excellent marksman, and so he gives Tell what he believes to be an impossible opportunity to be spared execution — he must shoot an apple off the top of his young son’s head. Tell completes the task with ease, much to Gessler’s dismay! But, Gessler still condemns him to death, and Tell is chained and put on a boat to be taken with his captors. During their boat journey the seas become rough,&nbsp; and the Austrians cannot manage the conditions - they’re all at risk of dying if someone doesn’t help. Tell offers to save the group if they would only release his chains, and in desperation they oblige. Tell immediately jumps ship, making his way to a rocky outcrop where he turns and shoots his captors, an action which symbolises the beginning of Switzerland’s independence. - William Tell is credited as the origin of the “apple shot” — where a marksman shoots an apple off the top of an innocent subject’s head. But if someone said to me “apple shot”, I think first of the Hunger Games, where Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen shoots an apple from the snout of a suckling pig that sits atop a banquet where her captors are feasting. And then also James Bond Skyfall, where Javier Bardem commands Daniel Craig to shoot a shot of whiskey from his lover Bérénice Marlohe’s head (unsuccessfully). And then further back, Kimberly Hart (the pink Power Ranger) defeats the evil Snizzard by shooting with her bow and arrow the golden apple of power that sits permanently above his head. The gesture of the apple shot has been utilised and recycled in pop culture with varying outcomes - from criminals killing innocents to heroes slaying villains, and then also it is used as a comedic skit, such as in Popeye, or in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, where a celebrated fashion photographer played by Matthew McConaughey coaxes a model to strip to her underwear and have an apple shot from her head by an olympic archer, before the scene cuts with the flash of a camera. my tv brain Tells me how to aim is a series of re-photographed collages that further remix the apple shot gesture by using screenshots from movies and shows and fragments of art history references, re-imagined together with stuff in my shed, my own body and my family, to form new characters and apple shot scenes. I like the idea that Tell moved up from a common person to a legend and a hero, and that his memory can trickle back down through the never-ending recycling of pop culture for people to absorb through their favourite cartoons and movies, recreating the gesture of a hero at home with collaged communal memory. The series of 4 images is installed within the William Tell rest house on a steel frame designed by Youssofzay + Hart. The above video shows a few references showing my personal experience of Tell’s legacy. Screen captures from Youtube/Stan/Netflix showing many interpretations and recycling of the “apple shot” gesture. I find it fascinating that a gesture like this can find it’s way to being mythologised to the point that it’s a household thing. Even the fact that there is a structure in the botanic gardens named after Tell - on the opposite side of the world to Switzerland - seems to reinforce this feeling. I liked the idea that this distant hero can be so condensed to a refined symbol (the apple shot), but then pop culture can work it’s magic/poison to share and recycle recycle recycle the symbol so that it can trickle down down down to me watching a rom com and I can print off screenshots and then add my own recycling and make up my own hero apple shots. These snippets show Tell content from; The Simpsons, A clockwork Orange, Brooklyn Nine Nine, The Lone Ranger, Looney Tunes, James Bond, Popeye, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, The Ghost of Girlfriends Past, some BTS footage of Roger Federer on a photoshoot , The Muppets, Blood Punch, The Toxic Avenger: The Last Temptation of Toxie and The Hunger Games.︎︎︎ Back to projects homepage
