Esther Chew and Andrew Brackman

[3Rs] Architecture and Tourism

This installation presents travel experiences during a cultural study scholarship in India over three months.

It includes a mosaic of hundreds of 3R photographic prints chronicling the colour, texture and culture of India; reproduction travel diaries and drawings; a short docudrama. This follows Esther’s 3-month affair with India as she interacts with various class levels, visits World Heritage sites, major festivals, local architects, universities and heritage organisations. The film provides an emotional context for the photographic mosaic whilst linking the preparation, creation and presentation of the entire project.

Esther was awarded the Jack Hobbs McConnell Travelling Fellowship through the Australian Institute of Architects (SA chapter).
