Lucila Zentner
The Enigma of Being Oneself
The first solo exhibition of Lucila Zentner's kangaroo series — family portraits behind the masks that define us, and the roo who travels alone in his aqua car.
The kangaroo, the mask, and the absurdity of being oneself.
The Roo project began five years ago, influenced by the artist's daughter, who made a kangaroo dress-up for identity day and walked the kitchen blindly — conjuring the enigma of how to be oneself and look at it at the same time.
Two themes run through the series: family portraits, universalised by one of the masks that define us; and the irreverent roo who holidays alone in his aqua car, experiencing, fully, the absurdity of being himself.
