Eland bones from 'Double Vision'

The eland bones form a part of the Double Vision installation. A full eland skeleton is displayed. On the bones are written powerful phrases and poems from the San, portraying their mythology and beliefs.

The cabinets in this installation represent individual identities; focusing on the ways in which differences in seeing and representing have constructed identities. It reflects the foundational significance of history and the way in which history is chaotically and randomly assembled in an archive. The display is divided into sections, each of which reflects on and interprets aspects of the experience of Origins Centre.
