2017 Vivid Sydney: Landscape of the Mind
Landscape of the Mind
Artists:
Black Dog Institute and amigo & amigo: Natalie Robinson (Australia) / Katherine Boydell (Australia) /
Simone Chua (Australia) / Renzo B. Larriviere (Australia)
Landscape of the Mind is a sculpture that explores deeply personal experiences of anxiety — what it feels like and what helps — through body map drawings, charting experiences, emotions and physical sensations that may be difficult to express verbally. This enables individuals to express their personal experience of anxiety in a way that shows its debilitating effects without stigmatising the condition.
The body maps presented in Landscape of the Mind were drawn by participants in a research study conducted by Professor Katherine Boydell and her team at the Black Dog Institute, an organisation that studies, diagnoses, and helps to moderate mood disorders like depression and anxiety.
