Mirage is an installation with a movement-based performance, video art, sound art and a series of mirror-booths.

Taking phantom-limb sensation as a 'mirage of the mind', and inspired by the work of neuropsychologist Ramachandran, Mirage plays on perceptual illusion, the construction of hybrid forms, and the real and virtual fusing and separating.

This work results from a Fellowship awarded by The Australian Choreographic Centre.

Mirage is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
