Tony Albert, You Wreck Me #13, 2020, Printed Photographs and Vintage Captain Cook Equemera on Archival Paper
In You Wreck Me, Tony Albert plays on Australia’s self-deprecating humour (known as ‘taking the piss’) to create 50 unique collages that offer a sharp and timely questioning of our national history. Painted up for ceremony, Albert’s political interpretation of Miley Cyrus’ Wrecking Ball ploughs down monuments of Captain Cook, recalling the reductive representations that are often imposed on First Peoples.
