art + soul, episode three: Christian Thompson

art + soul 2 episode three aired 22 July at 8:30pm on ABC1. 'The peripatetic Christian Thompson also gathers natural materials for his art, using his own body in his intriguing installations and haunting photographs. He has studied in Amsterdam and at Oxford University (where his photographs replaced portraits of prime ministers and cardinals for a time) but he still feels the strong pull to his family home in Barcaldine, Queensland. “My art allows me to hang on to the essence of belonging,” he says.' http://www.abc.net.au/arts/artandsoul/ CREDITS PRESENTED BY HETTI PERKINS PRODUCED BY BRIDGET IKIN and JO-ANNE McGOWAN DIRECTED BY STEVEN McGREGOR DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY ERIC MURRAY LUI SOUND RECORDIST DAVID TRANTER EDITORS LINDI HARRISON and ELLIOTT MAGEN SOUND EDITOR LIAM EGAN COMPOSER GEORGE PAPANICOLAOU EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ABC MANDY CHANG HEAD OF ARTS, ABC TV KATRINA SEDGWICK PARTNERS: SCREEN AUSTRALIA and HIBISCUS FILMS IN ASSOCIATION WITH: THE ACT GOVERNMENT, ScreenACT, SCREEN TERRITORY and the NATIONAL GALLERY OF AUSTRALIA DEVELOPED AND PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE: AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION all rights and copyright reserved ABC 2014
