This moving image work was created for West Projections in collaboration with Eugene Perepletchikov. The work addresses a site on the Maribyrnong river, Jacks Magazine. This site was responsible for storing a majority of Melbourne’s Explosives. In 1890 a Mr. Hake visited the magazine to find 1000 tons of explosives, which he estimated would have a blast radius to the General Post Office on Bourke Street. The circumstances of storing enough explosives in a city to destroy the city, and the communities’ reaction to these circumstances were the inspiration for this project. The projects title ‘8th of September 1890’ is the date on the letter addressing this issue.
