Sally’s work, her story, and her legacy function as a harmonious whole. Painting, however, is often mysterious. We can weave links, yes, but shouldn’t we also leave space? When we place two images next to each other, the mind can’t help but create a story; that’s the magic of the ellipsis. As viewers, it’s what makes us invested. If there are as many interpretations as there are observers, there will be as much media as there are sequences. Each click generates a different slideshow.
A color picked randomly from Sally’s palette for the introduction, a video clip of the artist painting, drawn by chance, in the timeline. Before accessing navigation, a long zoom on the map with the exhibit’s key regions.
There are 3 ways to approach the site:
• By region on the map: here, the sequence order is pre-established, the paintings mingle with timelapses of landscapes and audio clips. It’s the most classic approach.
• In the menu on the top left, access to paintings, archive images, and videos produced by the Fondation Cartier. Selecting a media starts a sequence generated by the database.
• Through search: for those already familiar with her work and culture.
The images take us into this place, situated in north of Australia in the gulf of Carpentaria: sandbanks, mangroves, narrow waterways, freshwater lagoons, and water lilies.
