Synopsis
In 1988, the University of Queensland Art Museum and the ABC funded a documentary that reflects on Australia's future amid post-industrialisation. Through a speculative lens, the film engages with Walter Benjamin’s concept of the “angel of history” and Karl Marx’s vision of modernity. It presents a critical perspective on societal changes and the implications of these historical theories for contemporary Australia. The 54-minute work invites contemplation on the trajectory of a nation in transition.
