Sydney College of the Arts student Lile Khajavi is consumed by the idea of sense being separated from self. Working within an absurdist framework, Khajavi aims to distinguish what is within from what is without in respect to their own manifested self-image as a goose.
Dylan Chope, currently studying at The Conservatorium of Music, has composed pieces in response to each image. Reminded of 20th century German Expressionist film, Chope leaned into a gothic mood when creating these pieces.
