Territory Time
‘Territory time’ is a maxim for life in the Northern Territory. Isolation and extreme seasons, particularly in the state’s northern capital, Darwin, limit one’s activities and daily achievements, and create a sense of time that is fluid, warped; marked by waiting.

“Not today, not tomorrow”. A social norm that defines tomorrow (and time) as ambiguous and undefinable: the day after today, the day after tomorrow, someday in the next week … never.
Featuring five Darwin-based sound and visual artists, Territory Time presents a collection of works created in response to, and within the constraints of, NT’s unique time zone. Far removed from the clichéd landscape photographs and aboriginal paintings geared to the tourist market, this immersive installation of nostalgic objects, expressive painting and spiritual soundscapes presents a wild, hidden side of the Territory, where mould persistently grows, threatening animals lurk and time escapes all structure.
