Yumutjin Wunungmurra identified his Father in the footage and the Dhalwangu Bungguls performed which reference earlier explorers – the Macassans from Sulawesi.
To process these fragments of recorded history and assemble a representation of cultural substance, Yumutjin wanted to create dialogue among different versions of history to demonstrate continuity to future generations.
The priority expressed by Yumutjin was not to reconstruct the past events as exactly as possible, but to engage various forms of authorship and intertwined processes of transfers into a performance-based realisation of continuous documentation. A production process was designed that accumulates various forms of intercultural authorship and connects all the interlaced media transfers.
