Untold Movements by acclaimed Indonesian-Australian artist Tintin Wulia is a dynamic new singleI work exhibition, developed over 18 months through a commission by 4A with the support of the Keir Foundation. The exhibition is her most ambitious sound installation to date, and first solo exhibition in Australia. The project is a development of earlier research that Tintin Wulia undertook while in United Arab Emirates participating in the Sharjah Bienniale in 2013.
The installation comprises 32 channels of sound played through 96 speakers, with narrations performed by 5 different collaborators. Continuing the artist’s interest in the use of language as a signifier for global migration, Untold Movements incorporates first hand interviews, personal anecdotes and historical research to weave together a poetic and abstract narrative of the obscured networks of global nomadism.
Tintin Wulia’s own experience of being deported from Germany after being accused of attempted illegal entry sets Untold Movements in motion. The work shifts across countries and continents, exploring traditions of oral storytelling and poetry.
