Melbourne Fashion Week 2011

Fagmedia Gallery 31 May 2024 Hits: 3222

This #photographs and #video are from Paris Kyne's The Complete History of LUST part of the cultural program of Melbourne Fashion Week in 2011.

Above: This is hand held video footage that has been dug out of the Fagmedia Archives. Below: Yvonne Gardner's interview with Paris Kyne.

It's not Yvonne's best work on camera because we were all still learning how to do TV and like a lot of things from Bent TV, the microphone, that was put in with the camera we were given to do the job, was crap so the sound is pretty crap here!

We will say this here, speaking generally, The "problem" for community organisations such as Bent TV is that the good people who want to create art and build social capital end up having to work with narcissists.

Narcissists are very good at installing themselves in leadership positions because they are addicted to the limelight but folks soon learn that their "Dear Leaders" are not only not very considerate to work with but they also use and abuse the people they work with.

The video footage was captured on a loan camera by James with the Presenter being the late Yvonne Gardner who was a friend of the late Master Miliner, Paris Kyne, so this page is a memorial for them both.

The Photographs below were by James and they are a great demonstration of the fact that it's very difficult to try to capture video and still photographs at the same time.

The Gallery, Above, contains a selection of curated camera proofs, and the B Roll, for narrative context and your viewing pleasure.

The Complete History of LUST was Staged at The Clement Meadmore Gallery in The Academy of Design, Port Melbourne. curated by Paris as part of the cultural programme for the 2011 L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Week.

The press release stated - “The contemporary consumer is often accused of knowingly or unknowingly buying landfill purchases, they satisfy for only a moment and are then dumped. Join us for this exhibition exploring society’s lust for the latest and greatest, as each of the selected artists showcase their talent. Each piece in the exhibition will be lavish to the extreme, so let your imagination go into overdrive! Some of the other designers who will show specifically made works are Simon Bainbridge, Diane Masters, Jeanette Cleary, Jeanette Maree designs, Deb Selleck, Kerry Hayes, Anna Kolusniewski, Tracey Pallett, Tatyana Anderson, Margaret Addis and Annie Cabral.”

Bad Romance Parody (in the Age of Tech)

The song flips Gaga's iconic drama into a playful warning about modern deception — love-bombing, bots, paid actors, and relationships that feel... scripted. It's commentary on spotting the red flags in the age of tech.
