Abstract

This visual essay discusses a three-year-long research project that resulted in Pilbara Interregnum: Seven Political Allegories—a multimedia installation by Grandeza Studio (Amaia Sánchez Velasco, Jorge Valiente-Oriol, and Gonzalo Valiente-Oriol) for the 18th Biennale Architettura—The Laboratory of the Future—curated by Lesley Lokko. This transdisciplinary work follows the material, discursive and symbolic traces of violence on and over bodies and territories in the Pilbara—a northern region of Western Australia affected by processes of colonial and neocolonial dispossession. Seven political allegories emerge from seven unresolved territorial disputes and restage the region from a contested resource-extraction site into an epistemological war of political imagination.
