In Australia

‘In Australia’ is an unveiling of the idle facade of small town suburbia, exposing 
the complexity and weight of intimate relationships and the meaningful yet destructive threads that hold communities together in these seemingly dormant and futile landscapes. Using constructed realities, Tajette draws on her own adolescence to explore her instinctive connection to home and how these profound formative years have shaped her adult life. In this work, the concentrated and complex themes of adolescence are brought to light in secular frames that heave with dark undertones, bleak landscapes and internal burdens that disproportionately weigh down on the young subjects she features. The listless nature of a slow paced suburban existence is marked in the stillness of the subjects, anchored in relationships where intimacy is forged through adversity and devotion is blurred with dependency.
