Elegy of the Pale Lion: Requiem
Presented by Vitalstatistix and eDuard Helmbold/Motus Collective
A choreographic and sculptural ritual about remembering, forgetting, and mourning. Performed on the stripped chassis of a Holden Commodore VF, the work reimagines the car as a uniquely evolved Australian species of feral lion, now facing extinction.

eDuard Helmbold’s sculpture and performance practice explores the roles of nostalgia and shame in the negotiation and production of cultural identities. In this ambitious new work, he collaborates with Motus Collective, an artist-run dance initiative led by Felicity Boyd and Zoe Gay, and experimental composer Daniel Thorpe.
The second part of this showing is 'Requiem'. Structured around the Mass for the Dead, 'Requiem' is an alchemical rite where Holden 6G1FA5E56EL942242’s body is transmuted into that of the Lion through a series of
sculptural interventions performed by Workers and Dæmons.
