Tracey Moffatt: Body Remembers

In 2017, Tracey Moffatt was Australia’s representative at prestigious the Venice Biennale, showing both a photo series and film that feature in this exhibition. True to Moffatt’s style, they’re both confronting works: ‘Body Remembers’ features ten ochre-hued photographs depicting Moffatt as a 1950s maid in a variety of settings, while ‘Vigil’ is a film montage that juxtaposes footage of an asylum seeker boat capsizing off Christmas Island with classic images from Hollywood film. This is the first time they’ve been seen in Victoria.
