Abstract

Christmas Birrimbirr is a multimedia installation artwork, the first major production by the new media collective, Miyarrka Media, of which Deger is a founding member. A 3 screen installation forms the centrepiece of the work, playing on a loop over 39 minutes. Other elements include a Christmas tree sculpture, a series of family portraits, and shorter videos, both projected and displayed on monitors. Together they produce an immersive sensuous experience that breaks new ground in both visual anthropology and Yolngu art and ritual performance.
