ARALUEN CULTURAL CENTRE ALICE SPRINGS, 2013

​

INSPIRED BY A TIME IN INDIA WHEN OUR BIKE RAN OUT OF FUEL, DRIVING BACK TO THE BIKE IN A TAXI SNIFFING THE GLASS BOTTLE OF FUEL WE HAD, THINKING ABOUT ALL THE PETROL WE HAD USED TO RIDE FROM ISTANBUL TO THERE, THE COLOURS, THE PRICES...THERE WAS A LARGE BILLBOARD EVERYWHERE IN INDIA AT THE TIME ADVERTISING THE MOVIE GHAJINI - A HUNCHED OVER WILD KIND OF CHARACTER, ALMOST MYSTICAL - THIS IMAGE BECAME THE MAN.

​

WHAT IS THE COST OF PETROL? WHY IS THE PRICE ALWAYS CHANGING? AND WHAT OF THE OTHER COSTS, ENVIRONMENTAL, PHYSICAL? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SNIFF IT...
