Clip description
Many sound effects, such as radio ads, news and a woman’s voice, are laid over a painting of the Australian landscape by the early Australian painter Frederick McCubbin. Various interviews with 'experts’ about the representation of the Australian landscape follow. The last interview is disrupted by a woman vacuuming in front of the camera as he continues to speak.
Curator’s notes
This clip shows clearly how the filmmaker uses many cinematic devices to change the meaning of what is being presented as fact.
