Counterplay was
developed in response to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission
publication Bringing Them Home: A guide to
the findings and recommendations of the national inquiry into the
separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from
their families. In a completely darkened room, lit only by
ambient light from the adjacent corridor, case studies lined the
main wall that moved from semi-visibility to complete invisibility
as the light diminished. Further into the room a water fountain dripped
at controlled rates reflecting the statistical differences between
children who were and were not separated from their families. |
