Angelica Mesiti shares insights on ASSEMBLY, 2019
About ASSEMBLY
Angelica Mesiti’s ASSEMBLY is a new three-channel video installed within an architectural setting inspired by the historical shape of the community circle and amphitheatre. ASSEMBLY establishes as an evolving set of translations from the written word to stenographic codes then music, and performance.
Filmed in the Senate chambers of Italy and Australia, the three screens of ASSEMBLY travel through the corridors, meeting rooms and parliaments of government while performers, representing the multitude of ancestries that constitute cosmopolitan Australia, gather, disassemble and re-unite, demonstrating the strength and creativity of a plural community.
One of Australia’s most celebrated and internationally profiled contemporary artists, Angelica Mesiti works across video, performance and installation. Mesiti has developed a practice characterised by large-scale video and sound works. She is known for using cinematic language and performance to explore stories of the individual and the collective.

About DESASTRES
Marco Fusinato’s DESASTRES, curated by Alexie Glass-Kantor, is an experimental noise project that synchronises sound with image and takes the form of a durational solo performance as installation.
In 2022, Fusinato performed live in the Australia Pavilion for 200 days using an electric guitar as a signal generator into mass amplification to improvise slabs of noise, saturated feedback and discordant intensities that trigger a deluge of images. The resulting all-consuming experience is open for the audience to interpret and make sense of.
Almost 400,000 attendees visited the pavilion in 2022 in a broad mix of global socio-demographics, sparking conversations that speak to Australia’s positioning in the world, including contemporary values that reflect the now.
Creative Australia is the commissioner for Australia’s National Participation at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.
