Georgia Lucy, Southern Tas Teddy Bears’ Picnic Association AGM via Zoom,
January 2022, video, 26 minutes ,24 seconds
Verging on voyeurism, Southern Tas Teddy Bears’ Picnic Association – – – AGM via Zoom is a collection of lo- fi footage documenting the teddy bear in the window phenomenon; an activity practised by communities in southern Tasmania during the pandemic. This work celebrates the zoom function of a large VHS camera and marries it with the concept of a Zoom meeting which simultaneously developed during lockdown as a virtual way of connecting. The 300 plus bears were captured over the two years of 2020 and 2021.
A projection of the video was commissioned by Good Grief to accompany a live set by Hobart band the Native Cats as part of the Good Video; Good Night at Good Grief event at MONA FOMA, 2022.
