Already Occupied is an ongoing project recoding signs of construction/destruction and "safety" to privilege an Aboriginal frame of reference. In this project, I use hi-vis to reveal a language which has always occupied this continent. Ochre and mud converse with fluorescent polymers in acts of way-finding. Star-pickets, concrete, road cones, polyester, twine and road signs are code-switched to speak of the relationship between exploited land and the material from which colonialism is constructed, turning the tools of occupation into a vocabulary of residence. I use this sign language to make temporary interventions on country that translate the embodied knowing of performance into a gestural syntax of sovereign listing.
