MAIN GALLERY | Unsettled Ground

Sebastian Di Mauro interrogates the contradictions at the heart of a nation that calls itself modern yet remains bound to the symbols and systems of empire. Australia’s continued membership in the Commonwealth and allegiance to the British royal family expose an unresolved colonial mindset—one that coexists uneasily with the realities of a contemporary, multicultural society. Today, Australia is home to people from hundreds of nationalities, speaking countless languages and shaping a vibrant, pluralistic culture. Yet, its symbolic head of state remains a monarch on the other side of the world—an emblem of a singular past presiding over a diverse present.

Through Unsettled Ground, Di Mauro exposes this dissonance, questioning why a country so enriched by difference still clings to inherited power structures. His work invites viewers to imagine an Australia that fully reflects its people—one free to define its identity without bowing to the ghosts of empire.
