“walking into the dark room of the second floor in the NSW art gallery surrounded by screens all playing simultaneously. You sit down, confused watching the last minute of any one short. It starts over and you are instantly captured by the character. Cate Blanchettu0026#39;s stage is calmly set with drone shots and slow continuous camera movements.
