Active Pass to IR9

Active Pass to IR9 is a video installation part of an exhibit of Internet based representations of Aboriginal communities curated by Kate Hennessy and Richard Wilson. Their reflexive, video-based curatorial statement of the same name depicts the full length of the Sturdies Bay/ Porlier Pass Road on Galiano Island, from the ferry terminal at the south end to the Penelekut Indian Reserve #9 at the north end. Two fields of scrolling text on either side of the represent memories and associations that Kate and Richard each have with this physical space and their individual understandings of place as they move through it together for the first time. Richard reflects on his ongoing search for knowledge of his own culture and family. Kate reflects on her position as a recent settler, and questions her lack of knowledge of her own family history and the Aboriginal history and present of the island

Direcor/ Producer: Kate Hennessy

This film and its production process is described in the book 'Anthropology and Art Practice' (2013), edited by Arnd Schneider and Chris Wright.
