    Coolabah, No.11, 2013, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Purrumbete Verandah, 2008 1 Seth Keen Copyright©2013 Seth Keen. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Abstract: In describing his 2008 digital video installation, a continuous 3 minute five second loop, Seth Keen introduces a contemporary engagement with the historic landscape of rural Victoria witnessed by Von Guérard in his paintings of the 1850s. Bringing together a background in documentary practice and graphic design, Seth is interested, as a media artist, in using digital technologies to explore forms of environmental portraiture that document relationships between people and place. In this video work, he revisits the location and landscape painting, From the verandah of Purrumbete, 18582 by Eugene Von Guérard. Purrumbete Verandah, 2008 documents the landscape and location that Von Guérard painted in 1858. Video is used to record the view across Lake Purrumbete from the verandah of the Purrumbete Homestead. Edited into this shot, are shots of local fishermen and a view of the Purrumbete Homestead recorded from Picnic Point on Lake Purrumbete. Caught up in the tranquillity of this location, I slipped into the pace of the fishermen and their interaction with Lake Purrumbete. They become a pivot for differing viewpoints on the verandah location. The video work can be viewed on the web at http://www.sethkeen.net/portfolio/purrumbete-verandah/. These shots originated from the Locative Painting3 research project, which records the numerous locations Von Guérard painted in the Corangamite Shire.
