The Great Development of Smythe Kangaroo Island, chromogenic prints and video, set of 4 27.9 x 35.6 cm, Ed 3/10 2003

I wandered through the Chinatown in Melbourne till the very end, where I found a tiny dull alley named after Smythe.  I had no idea who Smythe was but only wondered how many immigrants from China had been there. It’s an old neighborhood in the city and you would imagine only the older generations lived there. The very cramped homes could be only transient. Thus suburbia might be a destination for a better life and more space, or simply a disconnection from the past.
