"He's just resting, waiting for a new life to come" - Henry Frankenstein
Nothing that disappears ceases to exist;
Nothing is born from nothing;
The sum total of all things was always such as it is now, and such as it will ever remain;
Matter cannot be created or destroyed,
it can only be adapted, transformed and converted into another form of being.
In this exhibition, two collections of facing surround sound speakers play alternate audio loops created through the compression and deconstruction of the original Frankenstein soundtrack.
Allison Juchnevicius and Katren Wood who, since meeting at art school two years ago, have worked together adapting found texts to explore the process of communication and the instability of interpretation.
In 2008, both participated in international artist exchange programs, with Katren going to the Monash Prato Centre in Italy, and Allison to the Glasgow School of Art, UK. Both graduated from Monash University in 2009
