Abstract
This research project explores how photographs of an installation can recontextualise specific Brisbane sites to initiate dialogues about human interaction. The sites chosen are peripheral, located at the edges of significant human activity and largely disregarded. Through installing the reductive form of the cube, I aim to engage with the nature and geometry of the sites. The cube has a rich presence in art as a material object of mathematical form that can prompt a re-evaluation of the surrounding environment. Artists such as Tony Smith, Hans Haacke, Antony Gormley, and Ilkka Halso have used to the cube in installations to interrogate sites and to initiate dialogues. The cube as referenced by these artists has much to do with scale and human presence. Similarly, my use of the cube, encapsulated in my photographs, aims to mediate the selected sites by creating a sense of dislocation that could stimulate dialogues about places, history, and human impacts.
