Retracing Karkarook stumbles through the traumatised spaces of Australian suburbia, dredging up layers of denial buried beneath the surface of Karkarook, “a sandy place”, an artificial wetland in Moorabbin, Melbourne, built on a former sand quarry and the traditional lands of the Boonwurrung people of the Kulin Nation. De Bruyn and Berka, separated by 40 years yet both having occupied this region, waywardly trace and retrace its inconspicuous surfaces whilst navigating a fractured technological terrain where analog film and digital collage are collapsed.
