This work responds to the archaeologically disputed underwater rock formation, The Yonaguni Monument, that lies at the intersection of the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea, near the Western most island of Japan. Pluta spent time studying and exploring this monument in close proximity, guided by local experts. The work was commissioned by the Art Gallery of New South Wales for The National 2019: New Australian Art exhibition and involved a pictorial wall covering across the Art Gallery of New South Wales’s Entrance Court. The wall covering is comprised of dye sublimation prints of the on large scale canvas that both occupy the wall and appear like they are falling off its surface. The work pictorially and spatially explores the variables around the brightness of an object – its luminosity and shifting distance from the observer – of uncertainty and precarity.
