Abstract

Indigenous Australian and Asian Australian dialogues are still emerging in Australian cinema. This article will examine how Asian Australian cultural politics offer alternative accounts of indigenous—settler relations that are not reduced to a black and white discourse. A politics of cultural hybridity disrupts dominant modes of representation by revealing the fluidity and artifice of prevailing cultural boundaries. I expand on the critical framework of a ‘third space’ through Christopher Doyle's Rabbit-Proof Fence photo collages. While his subject matter is taken from the film's mode of production through his role as cinematographer, Doyle's interaction through collage and his Asian film background enables a hybrid engagement with indigenous cultural representations.
