Abstract
Spirit Patrol is a new video by Ross Gibson and Kate Richards in the Life After Wartime suite" a significant body of Australian electronic media art created since 1999. Based on dozens of original scene-of-crime photos from the period 1940-1970 and contemporary written text, Spirit Patrol weaves an evocative tale of intrigue, betrayal and darkness set in Sydney in a period of intense cultural change and personal disruption. Spirit Patrol unfolds across the city" from the port, to drab suburban yards, from the seaside and the badlands of the urban fringe, into nocturnal back-rooms. The resolute black and white images, rhythmic composition, and haunting cinematic sound touch on the austerity and uncertainty of current times.
