Ideas
- Incorporating a giant ball of string in an unusual situation (i.e. in the background of two people casually drinking tea, in the middle of the street, etc.). This is reference to things being out of place and that aspect of society that expects us to “fit in”.
- Incorporating numerous different cultural items in a normal setting.
- Incorporating different items that have a reference to today’s popular culture and the materialism that is often associated with it.
Chosen Idea and Concept
Incorporating numerous different cultural items in a normal setting. Australia is a vastly multicultural country. The influx of so many different cultures over the last 100 years in particular has definitely had a profound effect on our own culture to the point where it’s difficult to distinguish what is definitively ‘Australian’. Recently I met a Chinese woman who is very well travelled but being her first time here she wants to know about Australian culture, which of course is hard for me to explain because of the previous explanation. The incorporation of different cultural items in a casual setting suggests that perhaps this amalgamation of different cultures probably is what defines Australian culture.
