Body Remembers: Spanish Window . 2017
In her work for the Australian Pavilion, collectively entitled MY HORIZON, the horizon line functions both as a structural focal point within the images and as a metaphor for reaching one’s limitations and perhaps wanting to go beyond them. It represents a dream-like state of aspiration that is haunted by visions of an uncertain future and tinged with melancholy about what has come before. Body Remembers tells an oblique narrative centered on a single character, a woman dressed in an old-fashioned maid’s uniform, played by Moffatt herself, in homage to her mother and grandmother, who worked as domestics.
