The Ritual of Long Walks with Barrie Barton
The Ritual of Long Walks with Barrie Barton
Hotel Hotel Projects, PerformanceOn Saturday 9 May, Barrie Barton, Director of Right Angle Studio led a long walk and rambling talk through the gardens, trails and architecture of the Australian National University. Taking a journey through his old stomping ground, Barrie talked mortality and the movement of time (big ones!) dreams and truths, how to survive in Canberra and why birthdays are good for you. We crossed the big road outside Hotel Hotel and wandered… Through the Shine Dome, the National Film and Sound Archive and the Australian National University. Canberra, even on a cold and wintery day, knows how to put on a show. Oh, the fish we saw…
Daily Rituals
Anthropologically speaking, rituals connect us to a culture, a sub-culture, maybe even a cult. We have always been curious observers of the repetitive and sometimes strange routines people practise in private. This fascination with human behaviour is the catalyst for a creative project and ongoing study of all the weird and wonderful rituals people do every day. For the project we have created a series of short films directed by U-P and Alyssa McClelland that re-enact the bizarre rituals of others inside the rooms of Hotel Hotel. We’ve also written articles, catalogued everyday rituals across cultures, studied tools and implements connected to rituals and have invited photographers to document their own rituals.
