Created amid Australia's 1988 Bicentenary celebrations, "Night's High Noon" proposes a flipside to stereotyped notions of recent Australian history and identity. For Australia's Aboriginal peoples the Bicentenary represented two hundred years of dispossession from their land, cultural destruction and racial prejudice. Representation of indigenous cultures allude to the appropriation and objectification of Aboriginal peoples, their artforms and traditions, in white Australian popular culture. Truth and Meaning are similarly problematized.
