Launched on the cusp of a full moon, The Last Vestige existed as a fleeting one-night only art experience set afloat down the Mekong on the vintage boat 'The Hardship' - its destination a private riverfront property on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, where an electronic music party lay waiting ...
Reinforced by a coterie of all-female Australian artists, each room and cabin of the Hardship boat became the setting for a series of mini-dramas, site-specific installation and performance works drawing inspiration from themes related to time-travel, mutancy, and piracy.
Presented across a series of interconnected temporary autonomous zones; 2 bus shuttles, a 'Vulture House' party property, and 'The Hardship' boat, The Last Vestige sought to create a dynamic new exhibition experience toying with the freedoms and comfort levels usually afforded art audiences, sending the audience hurtling as passengers and players into the apocalyptic unknown.
