Evolution of Fearlessness is an intimate‚ interactive installation that responds to touch. The installation is created as a sequel to Wallworth’s earlier work Invisible by Night. Together the two works deal with loss and its aftermath‚ survival and‚ beyond that‚ hope and strength.
Evolution of Fearlessness pays tribute to women who‚ challenged by terrors that would cripple most of us‚ find a way to grow stronger and to deflect the unforgiving elements they encounter daily.
In creating this work‚ Wallworth filmed portraits of several women residing in Australia‚ but originating from countries such as Afghanistan‚ Sudan‚ Iraq and El Salvador‚ who have lived through wars‚ or survived concentration camps or extreme acts of violence.
Built around the importance of the gesture‚ Evolution of Fearlessness relies on gestural mirroring within its interactive structure to link us to the living women contained in the piece‚ whose stories we are given glimpses of but whose lips do not speak.
