Matrix of Rule: H.Mur

Artist: H.Mur
Curator: Priya Namana

'Matrix of Rule' considers the varied forms of labyrinths and racial membranes constructed to contain bodies we deem surplus, ineligible and disposable, on a local and planetary scale.

"In 'Matrix of Rule,' I appropriate Debord's filmic methods of recontextualizing, splicing and interlacing found footage with theoretical texts. Cameroonian philosopher Achille Mbembe's theorising guides us to consider, both locally and on a planetary scale, the varied forms of labyrinths and racial membranes constructed to contain bodies deemed surplus, ineligible and disposable." — H.Mur

Blindside Satellite programs are presented online and onsite at the gallery as on public screens at Bunjil Place, Narre Warren; Harmony Square, Dandenong; Liverpool, Sydney and Beenleigh, Queensland.
