Lachlan Tetlow-Stuart's new work in Next Wave Time Lapse

This December, head to Federation Square and check out Lachlan Tetlow-Stuart’s new Next Wave Time Lapse work, A Someone Else’s Problem Field.

A Someone Else’s Problem Field is fiction disguised as reality. It is a simple sleight-of-hand act that invokes the wonder and curiosity of childhood to re-imagine what the world is, and could be.

Devised and created by Adelaide-based artist Lachlan Tetlow-Stuart, this Next Wave Time Lapse work for December takes Federation Square as its subject, and, through creative use of the Square’s live camera, morphs and warps the space’s surrounding buildings. It is, as Lachlan himself describes, a work based on childhood fantasy and the extremes of imagination:

“Within my public media arts practice I’m particularly interested in stimulating the imagination of people to help them to rediscover their urban environments. By doing this, I also look to facilitate collective communal experiences that exist outside conventional arts spaces. In the tradition of many digital and non-digital public intervention artists, A Someone Else’s Problem Field is simply an illusionist magic trick that only exists as an artwork through the experience of its audience.”
