Alwin Reamillo
b. 1964, Manila, Philippines

After migrating to Australia in 1995, he began to explore ideas about memory, mobility, cross-cultural dialogue/exchange, community collaboration and the experience of moving back and forth between cultures– interested in examining how these interactions can change ways of thinking. Through immersive exploration of intertwined themes of colonisation, migration and globalisation of culture, Reamillo has collaborated with diverse communities across regional Australia and overseas, developing participatory ‘social sculptures’ in the form of ‘vehicles/ vessels/-crafts’, in response to local contexts and histories.
Recent projects often developed through an immersive process of ‘hunting and gathering’, which the artist re-translates as ‘hunting’ for found and sought materials/resources and a ‘gathering’ of people.
