"The first work I saw by the Australian photo-media artist Anne Zahalka was her
regendered version of Tom Roberts’
A Break Away! (1891). In Zahalka’s 1985
rendering, the heroic rider has been given a plait.
It was part of her series
The Landscape Re‑presented, where the young artist
had used photomontage to change heroic images of Australian art into a
gender-inclusive multicultural Australia.
This was the body of work that in 1986 persuaded the Australia Council to award
Zahalka a year-long residency at Berlin’s Künstlerhaus Bethanien. The
experience of Berlin, with its great art and embedded history, opened the eyes
of this child of refugees to her European heritage."
