ABSTRACT

Port Arthur Historic Site is a World Heritage Property in Tasmania, Australia. Inscribed as one of a suite of sites for the role it played in the British-Australian system of convict transportation, management and reform, it is today a major tourist attraction. Like most tourism destinations of the twenty-first century, image capture has become an integral component of visitor experience. Although at first it would seem that Port Arthur oozes images, there are particular locations, themes and views that reverberate through time and space. Reflecting on the theme of repetition, this visual essay seeks to elucidate how the paradox at the heart of Port Arthur’s representation might be used as a creative force or channel for the construction of new kinds of landscape encounter. Using a process of digital photomontage/collage, the essay explores the proposition that creative practice may play a role in activating and re-presenting heritage landscapes.

摘要

亚瑟港历史遗址是澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚的世界遗产。由于它在英澳囚犯运输、管理和改革系统中发挥的作用，它被列为一系列遗址之一，今天它是一个主要的旅游景点。与 21 世纪的大多数旅游目的地一样，图像捕捉已成为游客体验的一个组成部分。虽然乍一看，亚瑟港似乎充满了图像，但有一些特定的地点、主题和景色会在时间和空间中产生回响。反思重复的主题，这篇视觉文章试图阐明亚瑟港表现核心的悖论如何被用作构建新型景观相遇的创造力或渠道。使用数字蒙太奇/拼贴的过程，
