Hell is Other People is a collaboration between Ciaran Begley and James Nguyen, presenting some current outcomes from an ongoing dialogue.

Hell is Other People utilises the Nissen Hut - a ubiquitous example of military flatpack design - to process personal histories affected by successive policies of confinement that continues to define the Australian project.

Visualising the interminable hell of Jean-Paul Satre’s No Exit, the Nissen Hut, as a set-piece with convict sandstock footings temporarily repeats the structural cycles of violence, incarceration, internment, and detention enforced on 'Other People'.

Hell is Other People opens at Gertrude Glasshouse on Thursday 1 August, from 6pm - 8pm. 

Exhibition dates: 02 August - 31 August, 2019.
