Purrumbete Verandah

Purrumbete Verandah, was produced to explore alternative approaches towards documentary-making. The video work examines the documentation of place in relation to narrative. The landscape paintings of Eugene Von Guérard painted in 1858 informed the work, as early documentation of locations in the Western District of Victoria. Purrumbete Verandah is a video representation of two paintings by Von Guérard. These paintings are used as reference points to generate documentary content that is being used in the development of a web system that utilises mapping to explore the visual representation of place in an online interactive documentary. This research forms part of an ongoing investigation into visual anthropology using digital technologies and ethnographic documentary practice. Purrumbete Verandah was created for the Stony Rises project and went through a rigorous peer review process before being selected for the (NETS) touring exhibition. A chapter on the work is featured in the Designing Place (Melbourne Books) publication. The video work has been included in education resources and presented in the Von Guérard Professional Learning Event at the National Gallery Victoria (NGV) as supporting material to the Eugene Von Guérard, Nature Revealed exhibition (2011).The video work was also included in a review of the exhibition in The Age newspaper.

《Purrumbete Verandah》（珀伦贝特游廊）的创作旨在探索纪录片制作的替代路径。这部影像作品探讨了场所记录与叙事之间的关联。尤金·冯·盖拉德（Eugene Von Guérard）于1858年创作的风景画为该作品提供了灵感，这些画作是维多利亚州西部地区早期的场所记录。《Purrumbete Verandah》是对冯·盖拉德两幅画作的影像再现，这些画作被用作参考点以生成纪录片内容——该内容正用于开发一个网络系统，该系统借助地图技术在在线互动纪录片中探索场所的视觉呈现。本研究是利用数字技术和民族志纪录片实践对视觉人类学（Visual Anthropology）进行持续探索的一部分。《Purrumbete Verandah》为“Stony Rises项目”创作，经过严格的同行评审后入选NETS巡回展览。关于该作品的章节收录于《Designing Place》（墨尔本出版社出版）。这部影像作品已被纳入教育资源，并作为2011年澳大利亚国家美术馆（National Gallery Victoria，NGV）举办的“尤金·冯·盖拉德：自然的启示”展览的辅助材料，在该馆的冯·盖拉德专业学习活动中展示。该影像作品还被《时代报》（The Age）的展览评论文章收录。
