Abstract
This project titled Blood Real Estate aims to emphasise notions of wounded landscapes. The images in this series are created by applying digital manipulation techniques to images sourced from photographs I have taken of various places in so-called Australia over the last five years. Through the juxtaposition of a stark monochrome aesthetic and red filters, the Australian landscape is observed as if it were a bodily skin being metaphorically scratched at, as if it were a wound about to bleed. In stressing certain interpretations of construction and the ‘dream home’, I attempt to open a space for critical reflection on the availability of land for sale, as published daily on Australian Real Estate websites. By employing dark and dystopian futuristic lenses, I intend to examine the connotation of blood and the commodification of Indigenous lands within a postcolonial era.
