Trace
Trace
Projection artist James Muller presents Trace, a short-film featuring James’ signature large-scale projections onto the ocean at Mooloolaba Beach.
The video will contain an accompanying soundscape by renowned local musician Shannon Sol Carrol, delivering a multi-sensory experience of Mooloolaba Beach as you’ve never seen before.
Trace invites us to consider our connections to the places we frequent and asks us what has changed during our recent experiences with Covid-19 and isolation? This stunning work celebrates complexity, mixed messages and contradiction, encompassing connection and disconnection.
James and Shannon have been collaborating on various projects for over 15 years and their works continue to reflect a deep respect and creative articulation of the Sunshine Coast environment and lifestyle.
For an optimal and immersive experience, we recommend viewing this film full-screen, with headphones or high-quality speakers.
