The Trilogy
The Trilogy consists of three parts: The Escape of the Solstice Voyeur, The Battlefield and Auto da Fe. Each section is constructed as a cartoon sequence of events and images, which reflect and at times distort events and thinking from the twentieth century. The 'hero', the Solstice Voyeur is like an 'everyman', unwittingly and unwillingly caught in a web of misunderstandings, communication breakdowns, absurd accusations and denials, information and media overload. The Solstice Voyeur becomes like anyone who projects outwards their hopes and fears as we approach the end of the second millenium, and is caught looking at their own image 'through a glass darkly'. We become witnesses to the events, as fragments of our knowledge and memories fly past us in a sense-defying dance. But we can make sense of it. WE MUST!!
The Trilogy is basically performance theatre using a variety of image projections (video, slides, film) and sound as a multi-media event, with a group of performance artists who work intuitively within such a framework.
The Trilogy is a work by Arthur Wicks, a multi-media artist whose works have been exhibited publicly since 1967 both within Australia and overseas. During 1990 he was assisted by an Australia Council Fellowship, culminating in the Art Gallery of NSW exhibition, Machina:Persona in February/March 1991.
