Peter Hennessey

Peter Hennessey is obsessed with the extraordinary products of the space race. His massive 'build your own' Voyager space probe made from plywood and hinges ... and the associated panel works, drawings and video work explore an amazing narrative that brings some of the wilder aspects of the original project into focus.

... the thin edge of fanaticism that underscores this project is brilliantly conveyed. It is an act of homage with his tongue firmly in his cheek.
(Ted Snell 2003)

Peter Hennessey's My Woomera, another large scale installation incorporating video, was on view at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in December 2004.
