The Mary Stuart Tapes
9 min video, stereo sound, 1999
John Gillies places Schiller’s Maria Stuart (1800) in a contemporary context. Stalking through inner Sydney streets, she is an interminably wandering, banished, displaced ghost, beamed mischievously down under – a ‘down under’ suggesting more Joyce’s use of the term. Stuart’s disembodied voice conjoins eerily with Sydney’s early colonial history and speaks to the peculiar Australian sense of belonging; of being out of place and out of voice.
