The first work I saw by the Australian photo-media artist Anne Zahalka was her regendered version of Tom Roberts’ A Break Away! (1891). In Zahalka’s 1985 rendering, the heroic rider has been given a plait. 

It was part of her series The Landscape Re‑presented, where the young artist had used photomontage to change heroic images of Australian art into a gender-inclusive multicultural Australia.

This was the body of work that in 1986 persuaded the Australia Council to award Zahalka a year-long residency at Berlin’s Künstlerhaus Bethanien. The experience of Berlin, with its great art and embedded history, opened the eyes of...

(ANALYSIS) When Jack Kerouac penned “On the Road,” he immortalized the American road trip as a quest for meaning, a journey that was almost existential in nature. His words sparked a generation's wanderlust, fueling a search for adventure, self-discovery, and — dare I say — even a higher power.
