The Blak Infinite: Tarryn Love

Immerse yourself in Tarryn Love’s (Gunditjmara Keerray Woorroong) animations every night at Fed Square. ngaka – look here reflects on the connection between the Earth and the Cosmos. Brought to life in collaboration with Studio Gilay, the artwork invites you to look and learn from the stories held within the stars.

Watch as Kooyang the eel travels through the Milky Way, as he does through the saltwater currents of the ocean and the streams of freshwater rivers. As he swims, he passes Ancestors draped in possum skins who transform into stars.

ngaka – look here shows us that what we see on Earth is echoed in the stars and encourages us to contemplate the knowledge held within the night sky’s infinite expanse, while honouring the generations of storytellers who have transmitted that knowledge into the future.
