The Dismissal

In 1975, Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was controversially dismissed by Governer-General Sir John Kerr. It was a very interesting time in politics.

In 2011, I trudged around a Canadian forest, pointlessly repeating Whitlam’s famous speech from that unfortunate day. It doesn’t make much sense and isn’t really worth watching, but neither is Australian (and most Western) politics these days.     

Looped digital video. 2011. 61 minutes.
