In Sister, HYENAZ conjures a visceral dialogue between fusion and fracture. Filmed at Ngannelong (also known as Hanging Rock) the work captures artist Adrienne Teicher in a raw, psychedelic performance that mirrors the destabilizing thrall of longing. The work’s title invokes the eternally deferred ideal of sisterhood: a bond that promises wholeness but may never offer full or lasting consumation. HYENAZ’s soundscape oscillates between ethereal vocal symbiosis and electronic rupture, embodying the ecstatic terror of being both consumed by and estranged from a beloved other.

While the work does not explicitly address the history of Ngannelong, it is critical to remember that this is a site of profound significance to the Dja Dja Wurrung, Woi Wurrung, and Taungurung peoples, who were violently displaced during the genocidal campaigns of Australia’s frontier wars.
