Artists: Art Oriente' objet (Marion Laval-Jeantet & Benoit Mangin)
Work: Untitled (2011)
Partner: City of Mandurah & SymbioticA
Location: Mandurah, Western Australia
Art Oriente' objet immersed themselves in the cultural and ecological environs of Lake Clifton, conducting scientific investigations, interviews with local Indigenous people and learning more about this unusual site. Long interested in the intersections between art, science, and technology, they were drawn to the many questions that Lake Clifton raises around endangered ecosystems and cultural anthropology.
The artists are developing several projects out of their residency, including a film documenting the community around the lake, a sculpture of carved kangaroo bones and connections between the City of Mandurah and UNESCO.
