The Ahead of the Curve Commissions was a call out for young and emerging artists of colour living around Melbourne, to create new digital artworks that responded to social challenges, including COVID-19.
Yellow, an experimental and semi-abstract film by Julianne Nguyen @jujus_art_journals for the #AheadoftheCurveCommissions 💜🎞
“Yellow tries to capture ‘resilience’ and an ‘energy’ of our childhood youthful days that we have lost. Using my dad’s recording from his old handy-cam, my impromptu routine of playing instruments in my room and sudden urges of self-reflection, I attempt to encapsulate the power of our own ‘self’.
Yellow is a message for young adults to reflect, remember, return, rebuild and reconnect to what is important to our internal values, our ancestors’ ways and what is in front of us that we may have forgotten pre-COVID days.”
