- Description
- The Perfect Distance is a poetic and complex collaboration between artists Sheila Ie and Carey Ann Schaefer in which the two will be travelling towards one another from separate cities to a geographical mid-point. The predetermined destination will include an abandoned "found" building that they will paint white, marking their arrival. Before reaching this mutual destination, they will each record sounds and gather other documentation from their respective journeys. Upon their return to Victoria, they will present their collection of sounds, images, information and memories as an installation in the gallery. The title of the work proposes that we consider "the perfect distance" - what makes it perfect and how do we measure the mid-point of two distances - from where to where do we go?
