The content of this moving image work concerns the lives, culture, history and lands of Toraja in South Sulawesi. The artists would like to express their deepest respect and gratitude to Torajan communities around the world.

Much of the work for these pieces was carried out on the unceded lands of the Arrernte people and those of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We would like to extend our respect and gratitude to elders past and present of these peoples, as well as to First Nations people everywhere.

DSTV (Delta Sangalla' TV) have been documenting Torajan social and ceremonial life since 2006, when it was founded by Victor Konda. In 2011 DSTV launched a cable television network in their district, Sangalla', then set up a Youtube account in 2017, now with over 300,000 followers. DSTV's work is in documenting both the personal and the communal, a monumental archive of touching and captivating footage.

'all circles the moon and dirt shines in the sun' is made up of over 4000 seperate clips, all recorded by a DSTV crew member, and either broadcast on local television through their network or published on Youtube, arranged and constructed by Wahyu Al Mardhani and Chris Cochrane-Friedrich. The video material is accompanied by text from interviews conducted with Victor over the last four years and sound recordings collected by sound artist Josh Peters in Toraja.

Each space contained within the installation reconstructs a space in Toraja in which these images are consumed, edited and broadcast. Four video channels on four screens in each space, each a different perspective and temporality of the same event and each captured by a cameraperson in the DSTV crew. 'all circles the moon and dirt shines in the sun' proposes an emotional topography of DSTV’s work over the last 15 years, a living and growing archive of Torajan life.

The title of the work is an exploration of pluralism in language, a mistranslation of the original name of Toraja (Tondok Lepongan Bulan, Tana Matari' Allo). It was a collaborative effort to try and translate the poetry of the old Torajan language while retaining at least some of the original meaning.

This work is the culmination of two years of creative partnership and shared research by what has become the Sipakatuo (To Glorify One Another) collective. 'all circles the moon and dirt shines in the sun' is accompanied by an interview series conducted by the members of the collective with relevant and significant cultural agents, each with expertise and experience pertaining to the methods and processes undertaken during the creation of this installation work. This research has in turn nourished and informed the creative process, and shaped our approach to collaboration and co-creation. This interview series will be launched alongside the Sipakatuo website in November.

Disclaimer:
The video content of this work includes images of a person who has passed away and their body’s preparation for a funeral ceremony. Some viewers may find this footage distressing.

ABOUT SIPAKATUO
Sipakatuo (To Glorify One Another) is a collective initiative aiming to connect screen and sound practitioners and researchers between Makassar, Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and Naarm/Birrarung Ga (Melbourne), to make collaborative work, and build a sustainable creative bridge between Sulawesi and Australia.

Born from a shared love and curiosity for the moving image and audio visual encounters, Sipakatuo is an exchange programme that proposes a space for cross-cultural dialogue and creative collaboration. To learn from each other, teach one another, change and grow together.

The exchange comprises knowledge-sharing and capacity-building workshops, interviews with artists, filmmakers and cultural agents across Australia and Indonesia and in-depth research related to the works produced.

The contributors would like to thank each and every interviewee for their time, knowledge and generosity. This work was made possible thanks to support from Arts NT, Asialink Arts and the Alice Springs Town Council.
