Mara MacDonald (ft. Kaho Matsui)
Music video for single of Album ‘August and June’.
On August and June, Mara MacDonald treads intimate ground, picking up fragments of sound and voice and holding them to the light. Sewn together, these fragments (water, doors, breath, pulse) become stories about relationships: their possibility, their awkwardness, their joy, and their grief. Like the relationships they recount, each one of the album’s five tracks is the product of collaboration: an object fashioned by dialogue between two perspectives.
BOXedOUT
(2023)
-
We are transported into the captivating world of ‘BOXed Out’ with an electrifying stare-down between two fighters/dancers, their anticipation palpable. Beads of sweat glisten on their brows, as they clench their teeth behind saliva drenched mouthguards. Two abstract waves of her arms and the referee signals the commencement of the duet.

NEHUSHTAN.
Nehushtan (2023) TRAILER
Digital video projection and live public performance installation.
The title ‘Nehushtan’ is a biblical reference to a bronze pole erected by Moses to heal the snake wounds of the Israelites as they exited the desert. While the serpent is responsible for the bite, its image is integral to the healing of the wound. The symbol of the serpent is strongly associated with Medicine and more practically in modern medicine,snake venoms are used in medicines to treat the sick. Serpentine symbolism has complex and often contradictory meanings in cultures around the world. In the video projection, two patients grapple with spiritual suffering while they are physically in pain. They are visited by a serpentine entity who leads them to spiritual transcendence even in the face of severe pain. This work was designed to be displayed at the entrance to the Royal Melbourne Hospital and is part of a larger exploration by the artist about the role of art in contemporary medicine and holistic healing.
