PROJECT: KILLING DON: EVOLUTION OF A MEMORY

Killing Don: evolution of a memory is a project in its second stage of development. An investigation into private and public notions of memory and the interplay between personal and collective memories and histories, it explores the way nostalgia of these memories traps people in the past. It is also an exercise in the significance of remembering a time, an event or a moment (whether you were there or not). Fusing digital media with live performance Killing Don examines those visions of nostalgia seen through society’s rose coloured glasses.

About the Artists
Team MESS are a young collective who came together as a performance ensemble during their studies at The University of Wollongong's Faculty of Creative Arts. Interested in the fusion of the performing and visual arts as a means of exploring the 'human condition' in experience and concept Killing Don is their first project together.
