Biography
"Beneath the City" is a work in progress developed by Julia Herfurth and Scott Lewis in January and February 2023 during their residency at Testing Grounds in Melbourne, Australia, adjacent to the site of the Old Melbourne Cemetery. They recorded interviews, produced an experimental film, lino prints and photographs in response to archival material of the Old Melbourne Cemetery and the Queen Victoria Market.
Little is known by the public about the Old Melbourne Cemetery that was established in 1837; the first cemetery to be divided into religious denominations, including an area for First Nations People. It was permanently closed in 1922. Between 7,000 and 9,000 graves were not relocated during the successive expansion of the Queen Victoria Market (est. in 1878) and still remain on the premises.
The Queen Victoria Market is the largest roofed outdoor market in the southern hemisphere and sells food and other goods five days a week. In 2018 it was added to the National Heritage List.
