Happy birthday Captain Moonlite!

Queer bushranger Andrew George Scott was born on the 8th of January, 1845. His bushranging career began with a crime he always denied - a bank robbery by a cloaked, masked man who signed his name “Captain Moonlite”. George was eventually hanged for his crimes, and he is buried alongside his fellow bushranger James Nesbitt, with whom he was, in his words “united by every tie which could bind human friendship …one in hopes, one in heart and soul…”

if we’re picking favourite bushrangers then it’s GOT to be captain moonlite. his name was captain moonlite. his first bank robbery involved a “fantastic” black mask and a signed note from moonlite saying that the teller did everything he could to try and stop him. he repeatedly escaped/was released early from prison and when he did get taken to court made a huge show of his trial. he was a successful public speaker but just couldn’t help doing crime i guess and ended up starting a gang with his boyfriend and some dudes who came to his lectures. be gay do crimes 1800s outback edition we have to stan

Man in the iron mask

Of all the gripping details the journalists recorded, their first descriptions of the bushranger emerging in his armour in the morning mist were what proved most inspiring to subsequent Kelly creators.

Allen wrote the helmet was “made of ploughshares stolen from the farmers around Greta”, describing the cutting blade construction, and called him “the man in the iron mask”. Carrington wrote:

Presently we noticed a very tall figure in white stalking slowly along in the direction of the hotel. There was no head visible, and in the dim light of morning, with the steam rising from the ground, it looked, for all the world, like the ghost of Hamlet’s father with no head, only a very long, thick neck.

pride 2019 15/30 | captain moonlite

Andrew George Scott’s career as a bushranger began with a dramatic bank robbery featuring the mysterious masked and cloaked Captain Moonlite. While George always denied that he was Moonlite, the debacle eventually landed him in a supposedly inescapable prison. He executed a dramatic prison-break, but was eventually recaptured, and returned to prison, where he met and fell in love with fellow prisoner James Nesbitt. James was waiting at the prison gates for him on his release, and George went on to become a campaigner for improved prison conditions. 19th-century society, however, had no interest in the reform of former criminals, and he eventually turned to bushranging to support himself.

George was executed in 1880 after holding up Wantabadgery Station in New South Wales, and is buried alongside James, with whom he was, in his words “united by every tie which could bind human friendship …one in hopes, one in heart and soul…”

If any of you aussies watch The Masked Singer, I’m here to tell u that The Bushranger is definitely Bonnie Anderson

[quaidheap]

.1 External & Internal Problem

• During the events of my series of stories, Te Toiroa is a prominent member of the Aouru Movement. A large group of Indigenous Zealandians fighting against the Crown and Zealandian Government. Aouru is led by the famous Mātea Te Pōtiki, The man who created the movement and grew a following through his prophet like exploits and the conversion to his religion of Aouru.

What/Who is Aouru (Important to understanding Te Toiroa’s conflict)

• Aouru is the idea of a single god/power that created the physical world with light. It’s followers believe the prophecy of dark forces with the intent to invade their lands. Matea interprets this as the European settlers that have slowly taken over the land. A chosen few believe that in joining the fight for Aouru will grant them safe passage to the heavens in the afterlife (Hawaiki). Mātea’s stories and tricks make people believe in the movement and join with intentions of protecting their land. The group has been painted as an extreme fanaticism and barbarism cult by outsiders for their brutal acts in war. The group themselves believe to be the warriors and defenders the land needs.

• Te Toiroa’s intent to join was to protect the land and people from war, something that has directly affected his life. And to also fight against the government who were responsible for his best friend Billy’s death. (Billy was a bushranger that fled Australia with a large bounty on his head). Before joining the Aouru/Rīnatu, Te Toiroa grew his name as a vigilante driving off groups of soldiers seizing small maori villages. Over the years with the group, Te Toiroa grew a liking towards one of the members named Kuri whom he befriends. Their brotherly friendship was widely known in the group.

• During the years past the groups prime, The members including Te Toiroa realise the insane lengths Matea was willing to go to continue the fight, go against their own morality. Matea in the end grows mad, beginning to distrust those around him. His paranoia leads to the slaughter of many surrounding villages and tribes whom he believes betrayed him and sided with the government. Te Toiroa is conflicted. He knows the group he joined with good intentions has gone beyond sane, but he feels he needs to persuade others to join him in leaving before he leaves himself. Especially his best friend in the group Kuri, who insists on staying and following Mātea to the end. Does Te Toiroa leave by himself not wanting to be involved in a violent group killing not only innocent Europeans but innocent Maori too, Or does he stay for as long as it takes to persuade Kuri and others to join him and question the authority of Matea. Choosing his principles, good morals and honour or loyalty to his friend and possibly saving his life even if it means being involved in acts of murder.

.2 Interrogating my character and his world

Questions

• How old is your character?

Early 20s

• What is their relationship with their parents?

Te Toiroa loved his mother, remembering her being a very kind hearted woman doing her best to take care of him and his brother while his father would be away fighting for their Iwi. His parents both died young, murdered by a rival invading tribe. He was very young when it happened.

• Who raised them?

After the death of his parents, Te Toiroa and his brother took care of themselves in the wilderness. During the course of his teen years, he was raised by Billy Sullivan.

• Do they have any siblings?

One younger brother named Te Whiti. Te Toiroa had a strong and tight relationship with his younger brother before he died. Acting as the mature adult in the relationship, Te Toiroa did his best to take care of Te Whiti at a young age.

• Are their any significant social interactions or events in that past that influence their character?

The death of his parents and tribe leading to his and his brothers escape. Surviving together for a few years taught Te Toiroa how to be independent and mature.

Meeting Billy Sullivan. Te Toiroa wouldn’t be the man he is without meeting Billy. His personality, traits, skills and knowledge were all brought down from billy. Nearly every social interaction between these two has had a influence (either significant or small) on Te Toiroa’s character.

Billy teaching Te Toiroa how to use the bow and arrow, and crafting his Koi spirit mask, basing it off of Te Toiroa’s wooden tiki necklace. These are the two factors that give Te Toiroa the inspiration to create his own alter ego to act as a vigilante, saving the innocents from war.

• Are they married? Or have been married?

No

• Does your character have relationships? Romantic or otherwise?

No romantic relationships at this point in his life. He has had friends in the group and from his past.

• Te Whiti

• Billy Sullivan

• Kuri

• Tuma

• Tohu

• Teihorangi

• Ihaia

• Matea

• If a social class exists in their world, to which one do they belong?

Te Toiroa would be considered a commoner in the social structure of the Indigenous Zealandians. Amongst the social structure of European Zealandia, Te Toiroa would be placed in the lowest class.

• Does your character have children?

No

• Is your character religious, or do they have a mentor, someone they put on a pedestal?

Te Toiroa joined the Aouru movement with intentions of fighting the Zealandian government, and with no religious intentions. Te Toiroa’s beliefs are open to interpretation but aren’t openly expressed to others, it’s a subject he has no interest in. As for a mentor, Billy Sullivan would have been the closest thing to, but his advice is never religious.

• How has your character’s upbringing shaped their view of the world?

The cold reality of the world is something Te Toiroa had to contain knowledge of at a young age. It shaped him into a smart and resilient young man, a survivor, someone who we’d consider now to be street smart. It also taught him to believe that being independent and a cynic is the only way to truly survive on your own. Meaning that walking into any situation means expecting the worst scenario and defending yourself and appearing strong is paramount to any other alternative.

• Does your character have chosen accessories/clothing/tools/weapons

Te Toiroa always wears his tribal tiki necklace which he kept from his childhood. In terms of clothing, Te Toiroa has no default set, however he does prefer little amounts of clothing when in combat to be faster with less interference. His preferred weapons are a whalebone wahaika, a gift from Teihorangi, and his bow from Billy and arrows in which he must continuously craft in quantities.

• Does your character have preferred other things, food, places

Te Toiroa’s struggle with his upbringing made him develop no preference when it comes to food or a certain place. He is very resourceful with whatever location he stumbles upon and an opportunist when it comes to food (Any edible food is good food).

The dynamic and immersive installation incorporated the work of artist Natasha Johns-Messenger, as well as filmmakers Coco and Maximilian. Photo – courtesy of John Wardle Architects.

Two massive shipping containers left Australian shores bound for Venice. There, there were met by the team of specialist contractors, who had constructed the contents back in OZ. Next, the team from John Wardle Architects, along with collaborators: artist Natasha Johns-Messenger, filmmakers Coco and Maximilian, and Murano glassblower Leonardo Cimolin, set about the monumental task of assembling their elements into Somewhere Other, a vast installation worthy of La Biennale di Venezia.

‘It’s an idea formed around the theme of translation, and working between two distinctly different places: Australia and Venice,’ explains founding principal John Wardle. ‘To make this connection between “somewhere” and “other” we determined our exhibition to be a series of portals and thresholds that orchestrate various forms of engagement, from the most intimate to the most social, with opportunities for entering within, or standing back and observing.’

The result is a meticulously constructed installation, which joiners Jacaranda Industries have clad in spotted gum, an Australian native hardwood. Integrated throughout the structure’s viewing points and thresholds are a series of screen-like mirrors and films – by artist Natasha Johns-Messenger and filmmakers Coco and Maximilian, respectively – as well as an intriguing optical device created in collaboration with Venetian glass master Leonardo Cimolin.

‘The capacity of Natasha’s work to confound perception and challenge what and how we see things led us to invite her into our project for Venice,’ details John. Meanwhile, Coco and Maximilian’s six short films cover John Wardle Architects projects. But rather than merely document, they creatively explore emotional engagement with architectural space.

One end of the Somewhere Other installation tapers to a viewing portal, inspired by both Venetian carnival masks and the horizontal eye slit in legendary bushranger Ned Kelly’s iron helmet. ‘It’s suggestive of the way we engage with interior space,’ explains John of the view.

At the other end, is a U-shaped passageway where a film, presenting a journey through passages, windows and door openings, is projected at human scale. At the same time, two of Natasha’s angled mirrors create an engaging illusion, enfolding viewers in the projection.

A final ‘Venetian Portal’ can be viewed from that same U-shaped passageway. This polished chrome cone extends through funnel-shaped Venetian glass by master craftsman Leonardo Cimolin. Uniquely, this viewpoint has an opposite function to the other two, focusing a viewer’s attention inward on the architectural pavilion space before them, rather than elsewhere… somewhere other!

Curated by Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara, the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, Freespace, runs from May 26th to November 25th.

To accompany the exhibition, John Wardle Architects has commissioned a monograph, Somewhere Other: John Wardle Architects, by Uro Publications.
