A Creek Story is a newly commissioned moving image and concrete poetry work by artist Joy Zhou. Collaging text, images, and audio in a series of moving image works and gifs, Zhou builds on their interest in visually and sonically mapping the plurality of encounters one may have with such waterways and creeks on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung land.
Inspired by the hidden waterway of Williams creek that runs underneath Melbourne’s CBD, Zhou has thought up a fictional story that follows two cities — one above ground, the other buried deep underground — that are connected by The Waltzing Creek.
Joy Zhou talks through their process of active listening to form knowledge; the exploration of the Williams Creek that inspired the fictional narrative of A Creek Story; and the links formed between language, sound and environment as an action to give voice to those often unseen.
Joy Zhou is a China born emerging artist and design practitioner based in Naarm/. Informed by their background in Interior Design, Joy’s practice entails gestures of queering which unfold encounters and events that draw relationships between people, places, and spaces.
