The exhibition begins with the Australian outback as a signifier of national identity, before exploring themes of personal identity, the human body and selfhood, political urgency and lack of agency. Words are employed to direct effect in works by several artists including Tipping, who uses the language of road signs to grab and hold the audience’s attention.
