Going Home (Part 2)
Glenn Walls. Le Corbusier designed nothing for me. Digital print. 2011. Part of the Going Home (Part 2) series
Modernist architects Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier proposed buildings intended for an ordered, structured life and contemplative viewing. What attracted me to their domestic buildings were their pure forms, cleanliness, timelessness and strong sense of interplay between masculine/feminine and public/private space. I only know these architects’ works via books, documentaries and the web; I am from the suburbs, raised without connection to modernist architecture. My work seeks ways to link my experiences of domestic buildings with the pure forms and theories of these architects. To achieve this I have photographed my father outside his house. Through research, experimentation and production I link these spaces through the use of text, white electrical tape, human figures and objects, into the public/private spaces of Mies and Le Corbusier.

The Australian Aboriginal Flag is a flag that represents Indigenous Australians. It was designed in 1971 by Aboriginal artist Harold Thomas, who is descended from the Luritjapeople of Central Australia and holds Intellectual propertyrights in the flag’s design. The flag was originally designed for the land rights movement, and it became a symbol of the Aboriginal people ofAustralia.
The symbolic meaning of the flag colours (as stated by Harold Thomas) is:
- Black: Represents the Aboriginal people of Australia
- Red: Represents the red earth, the red ochre and a spiritual relation to the land
- Yellow: Represents the Sun, the giver of life and protector
