HERE & THERE / Alex Karaconji & Daniel Elliott

Curators: Belinda Yee in collaboration with Tamworth Regional Gallery

Two animated works, two artists and two cities, connected by a single projection event.

Two animated works were presented simultaneously in regional NSW and inner city Sydney, connecting Tamworth Regional Gallery’s outdoor projection space with DRAW Space gallery. Sydney artist Alex Karaconji’s Letter #1 brings the intimacy and looseness of a letter into stop-motion animation, while Armidale-based artist Daniel Elliott’s Shits for the Birds drifts through the soft atmospheres of regional life at dawn. Together, the works trace the strange poetry of local streets, overlooked places, birds, weather, infrastructure and the small gestures that bind people to place. Presented across two locations at once, the project opens a quiet conversation between city and country, distance and closeness, here and there.

The projected works were presented simultaneously at Tamworth Regional Gallery Outdoor Projection Gallery and DRAW Space over three nights: Sunday 21, Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 June, 2026.
