| Cook East Cook West is a 2-video
installation
shown on 2 monitors playing simultaneously. It is made from the Indian Pacific train, which travels daily between Sydney and Perth, including across the Nullarbor Plain. Cook is a settlement in
the centre of the Nullarbor, and also approximately
in the centre of the Australian continent on the east-west axis. The
left monitor shows the landscape visible as the train leaves Cook travelling
west towards Perth. The right monitor shows the landscape visible from
the train as it travels east towards Sydney. The landscape is constantly
flat and appears to flow into the space between the monitors, while the pattern of flat grey vegetation and red sand constantly moves.
