HOME : ABOUT : RESOURCES : ARTISTS                         Towering ten metres high on the side of a building, children peer from their vast perch. As they gaze out at watchers on and passers by, they play, pace, and ask the question; do you notice us now?   A reflection on Article 13 of the UN Convention on the rights of the Child, Giants Among Us is a public, large scale digital sound and video installation. The work transform inaccessible surfaces into multi‑story playgrounds, illuminating public spaces with epic images of our smallest citizens whilst the airwaves drift with tiny voices telling of enormous ideas. Passers by become audience as they bear witness to gentle giants sharing an invitation to pause, watch and listen.   Created in collaboration with children through a series of exploratory workshops exploring concepts and understandings of ‘cities’, Giants Among Us reminds us that the presence of children in our cities is valuable and precious.   Giants Among Us was originally presented by Thom Browning (Imaginary Theatre co-founder) as part of Brisbane Festival 2009’s UNDER THE RADAR ‘Street Feats’ program. It showed over 5 nights at 5 different sites within Brisbane’s CBD. The work can be performed as a remount, or alternatively commissioned to be re-created through a workshops series with local children culminating in an original site-specific installation.   Thom Browning - Creator Amanda Karo - Workshop Co-Devisor/Co-Facilitator Markwell Presents - Video Consultants Imaginary Theatre acknowledges the support of Youth Arts Queensland and Transit Lounge. www.imaginarytheatre.org Katrina Torenbeek, Producer, MAPS for Artists Fiona MacDonald, General Manager/Producer – Imaginary Theatre                         Photo by Al Caeiro Photos by Al Caeiro (1 and 2), Darren Mew (3, 4,6), Carine Kellins (6).                         Design by Oblong + Sons
