00:00:00.206 --> 00:00:03.289
(lighthearted music)

2
00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:05.810
<v Garrett>Was that? This is our room?</v>

3
00:00:05.810 --> 00:00:07.960
<v ->Yeah, that's outside</v>

4
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:10.707
and to come our way in this exhibition.

5
00:00:10.707 --> 00:00:12.620
<v ->It's all lit in the forest.</v>

6
00:00:12.620 --> 00:00:15.070
<v ->Yeah, it's so big.</v>

7
00:00:15.070 --> 00:00:17.630
Seeing the video, it was scaled away.

8
00:00:17.630 --> 00:00:19.890 line:15% 
Like working on it, editing it,

9
00:00:19.890 --> 00:00:21.361 line:15% 
I haven't really seen it.

10
00:00:21.361 --> 00:00:22.530 line:15% 
It's such a nice one, yeah.

11
00:00:22.530 --> 00:00:24.090 line:15% 
<v Garrett>You can see all the details now.</v>

12
00:00:24.090 --> 00:00:24.923 line:15% 
<v ->Yeah.</v>

13
00:00:30.844 --> 00:00:31.870 line:15% 
I love how the portraits

14
00:00:31.870 --> 00:00:34.962 line:15% 
have the gold, that rim.

15
00:00:34.962 --> 00:00:36.440 line:15% 
<v ->It's such an odd find.</v>

16
00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:39.290 line:15% 
<v ->Yeah, it really suits all the style</v>

17
00:00:39.290 --> 00:00:42.203
of the postcards themselves.

18
00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:46.283
<v ->In fact, the string matches up beautifully.</v>

19
00:00:47.252 --> 00:00:48.085
<v ->Did you ever imagine that</v>

20
00:00:48.085 --> 00:00:49.107
you would be hanging

21
00:00:49.107 --> 00:00:50.958
in the National Portrait Gallery?

22
00:00:50.958 --> 00:00:51.791
<v ->No.</v>

23
00:00:53.299 --> 00:00:54.561
<v ->It's a real honour to be part</v>

24
00:00:54.561 --> 00:00:56.950
of all the other stories in the show,

25
00:00:56.950 --> 00:01:00.450
and then be part of it is really special.

26
00:01:01.810 --> 00:01:03.263
It's great, it's great.

27
00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:17.210 line:15% 
I like this one from David and Wesley.

28
00:01:17.210 --> 00:01:19.650 line:15% 
I actually didn't know that they worked together.

29
00:01:19.650 --> 00:01:22.100 line:15% 
<v ->No, well, it says they just spent</v>

30
00:01:22.100 --> 00:01:24.960 line:15% 
10 years living in different locations.

31
00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:28.870
<v ->It's got a really nice sort of '70s colour palette,</v>

32
00:01:28.870 --> 00:01:30.350
the browns and yellows.

33
00:01:30.350 --> 00:01:32.340
<v ->Reminds me of single mime movie.</v>

34
00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:33.860
<v ->Yeah, it's quite like a Tom Ford</v>

35
00:01:33.860 --> 00:01:36.160
Gucci kinda vibe.

36
00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:38.370
<v ->And the ice bucket is my favourite view.</v>

37
00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:40.920
<v Will>It's very sweet how they're holding hands.</v>

38
00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:43.373
<v ->Yeah, it's a beautiful photograph.</v>

39
00:01:48.790 --> 00:01:50.465
Kinda cool with their name on.

40
00:01:50.465 --> 00:01:51.298
<v ->Yeah.</v>

41
00:01:51.298 --> 00:01:52.131
<v ->You can see the lights</v>

42
00:01:52.131 --> 00:01:52.964
when we're driving into, right?

43
00:01:52.964 --> 00:01:54.022
<v ->Yeah.</v>
<v ->Yup.</v>

44
00:01:54.022 --> 00:01:56.772
<v ->I love neon light at any time.</v>

45
00:02:02.651 --> 00:02:03.901
<v ->I love these.</v>

46
00:02:09.390 --> 00:02:11.723 line:15% 
<v ->I'd train with Sam Neill when I go again.</v>

47
00:02:12.948 --> 00:02:13.800
(Garrett laughs)

48
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.220
So great.

49
00:02:15.220 --> 00:02:17.210
Sam Neill was quite hot.

50
00:02:17.210 --> 00:02:19.058
He probably still is.

51
00:02:19.058 --> 00:02:19.978
Yeah, it seems.

52
00:02:19.978 --> 00:02:21.298
<v ->Can't remember him.</v>

53
00:02:21.298 --> 00:02:22.131
<v ->"Jurassic Park".</v>

54
00:02:22.131 --> 00:02:23.360
<v ->Oh, yeah, that was Sam Neill.</v>

55
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:24.780
I actually likes him, good.

56
00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:25.930
I don't know.

57
00:02:27.750 --> 00:02:31.270
<v ->I like the contrast of the domestic life</v>

58
00:02:31.270 --> 00:02:32.103
and then they have

59
00:02:32.103 --> 00:02:33.726
fantasies, yeah, yeah.
<v ->Fantasy.</v>

60
00:02:33.726 --> 00:02:35.994
Look how colourful their faces in the fantasies are.

61
00:02:35.994 --> 00:02:37.350
<v ->Yeah, I'd much prefer</v>

62
00:02:37.350 --> 00:02:38.923
the fantasy than the reality.

63
00:02:41.134 --> 00:02:42.120
<v ->It looks really stressed.</v>

64
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.060
<v ->Yeah, stressful feeding a child,</v>

65
00:02:45.060 --> 00:02:46.443
dreaming of Sam Neill.

66
00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:48.940
It's really great.

67
00:02:48.940 --> 00:02:50.080
I like that pattern,

68
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:54.200
that love is obviously just a fantasy.

69
00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:55.398
<v ->Yeah.</v>

70
00:02:55.398 --> 00:02:59.315
(lighthearted music continues)

71
00:03:05.008 --> 00:03:06.910 line:15% 
I think these are my favourite

72
00:03:06.910 --> 00:03:08.963 line:15% 
in the whole exhibition.

73
00:03:09.917 --> 00:03:12.092 line:15% 
I love "Lottie & John".

74
00:03:12.092 --> 00:03:13.759 line:15% 
<v ->It's so beautiful.</v>

75
00:03:14.810 --> 00:03:17.020
They had that fake wedding.

76
00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:18.926
This is their fake wedding here, isn't it?

77
00:03:18.926 --> 00:03:19.759
<v ->Yeah.</v>

78
00:03:20.862 --> 00:03:21.695
<v ->Would have been nice for them</v>

79
00:03:21.695 --> 00:03:25.500
to see same sex marriage become legal.

80
00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:27.510
I'm so glad that they just did-

81
00:03:27.510 --> 00:03:30.340
<v ->They just went out and did that anyway.</v>

82
00:03:30.340 --> 00:03:31.173
<v Will>This looks like a really</v>

83
00:03:31.173 --> 00:03:32.133
fun wedding to be at.

84
00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:36.300
<v ->Stunning, I'd love one.</v>

85
00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:38.057
<v ->I wanna be at that wedding.</v>

86
00:03:39.699 --> 00:03:41.366
It's very beautiful.

87
00:03:43.936 --> 00:03:45.353
Oh, "Kath & Kim".

88
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.680 line:15% 
<v ->I think "Kath & Kim" is like</v>

89
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.854 line:15% 
they're fictional characters,

90
00:03:51.854 --> 00:03:53.880 line:15% 
but I feel like I grew up

91
00:03:53.880 --> 00:03:56.020 line:15% 
pretty much close to where they,

92
00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:57.290 line:15% 
you know that whole environment?

93
00:03:57.290 --> 00:03:59.937
<v ->Yeah, this says, "My first impressions</v>

94
00:03:59.937 --> 00:04:01.237
"of Jeannie were not good.

95
00:04:02.139 --> 00:04:03.229
"I didn't like her very much."

96
00:04:03.229 --> 00:04:04.062
<v ->Really?</v>

97
00:04:04.062 --> 00:04:05.270
<v ->I always think it's quick to go in,</v>

98
00:04:05.270 --> 00:04:07.450
and judge fast, and then be good at that.

99
00:04:07.450 --> 00:04:08.283
Then you can always say,

100
00:04:08.283 --> 00:04:10.410
"Oh, I was wrong, and you're great."

101
00:04:10.410 --> 00:04:12.180
<v ->It's better than the other way around.</v>

102
00:04:12.180 --> 00:04:16.103
<v ->And it's interesting fact, we work together,</v>

103
00:04:18.537 --> 00:04:20.343
and then working together, and being friends,

104
00:04:20.343 --> 00:04:22.930
and having that relationship,

105
00:04:22.930 --> 00:04:24.480
how long do you think?

106
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.023
We have get along now.

107
00:04:27.230 --> 00:04:28.173
It's so iconic.

108
00:04:29.871 --> 00:04:32.437
That dress is so ugly. (wheezes)

109
00:04:32.437 --> 00:04:33.604
It's perfect.

110
00:04:35.261 --> 00:04:37.768
I could see your mom right now.

111
00:04:37.768 --> 00:04:40.768
<v ->Yeah, yeah, yeah, very much, yeah.</v>

112
00:04:45.030 --> 00:04:46.010
Mommy love.

113
00:04:46.950 --> 00:04:48.916
<v Will>This one's fantastic.</v>

114
00:04:48.916 --> 00:04:52.260
<v ->Yeah, that's the one we saw driving in.</v>

115
00:04:52.260 --> 00:04:53.350
<v ->Yeah, when you drive past,</v>

116
00:04:53.350 --> 00:04:54.223
you can see it.

117
00:04:55.640 --> 00:04:56.473
So cool.

118
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.722
This will look good in our room.

119
00:04:59.722 --> 00:05:01.389
It won't fit though.

120
00:05:02.769 --> 00:05:04.019
It's beautiful.

121
00:05:06.623 --> 00:05:08.960
I like all the colours with the gallery.

122
00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:11.400
<v ->Yeah, not just white walls.</v>

123
00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:12.683
It's beautiful.
<v ->Yeah.</v>

124
00:05:16.649 --> 00:05:18.618
It's William Yang.

125
00:05:18.618 --> 00:05:21.573 line:15% 
<v ->Oh, great, I love his work.</v>

126
00:05:22.977 --> 00:05:25.697 line:15% 
<v ->"I never consciously came out as a gay man.</v>

127
00:05:25.697 --> 00:05:28.490 line:15% 
"I was swept out by events at the time."

128
00:05:28.490 --> 00:05:30.290
His work is so important

129
00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:34.763
documenting queer stories wherever he is.

130
00:05:34.763 --> 00:05:36.096
<v Garrett>Yes.</v>

131
00:05:37.095 --> 00:05:39.860
<v ->Yeah, that archive is so important.</v>

132
00:05:39.860 --> 00:05:40.693
<v ->Yeah.</v>

133
00:05:40.693 --> 00:05:42.960
<v ->And it's so intimate in the way</v>

134
00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:46.930
that he is part of those worlds,

135
00:05:46.930 --> 00:05:48.190
and he gets right inside,

136
00:05:48.190 --> 00:05:51.393
and just captures people's lives.

137
00:05:52.950 --> 00:05:56.200
I love how William Yang writes on his photographs.

138
00:05:56.200 --> 00:05:59.520
It just gives them that extra personal language.

139
00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:02.160
You can connect with the people's stories

140
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.803
with their names, and it's more, yeah.

141
00:06:08.885 --> 00:06:10.700
This is the photograph that our first one

142
00:06:10.700 --> 00:06:11.533
that we were in.

143
00:06:11.533 --> 00:06:12.549
<v ->Yeah.</v>

144
00:06:12.549 --> 00:06:15.600
<v ->It was the 40th anniversary of Mardi Gras.</v>

145
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.770
<v ->I see, this was the well,</v>

146
00:06:17.770 --> 00:06:19.560
it was like a history.

147
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.760
<v ->A salute to iconic costumes</v>

148
00:06:21.760 --> 00:06:23.280
from Mardi Gras's past.

149
00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:24.350
<v ->And we were the future.</v>

150
00:06:24.350 --> 00:06:28.200
<v ->Yeah, we wore those ridiculous golden fly nipples</v>

151
00:06:28.200 --> 00:06:30.110
and we could only move our feet a tiny bit.

152
00:06:30.110 --> 00:06:31.159
<v ->It's horrible,</v>

153
00:06:31.159 --> 00:06:32.270
really bad decision.
<v ->It's really cool.</v>

154
00:06:32.270 --> 00:06:33.620
It was so painful,

155
00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:35.470
but I was so excited to be there

156
00:06:35.470 --> 00:06:38.121
that I just didn't even think about it.

157
00:06:38.121 --> 00:06:38.954
<v ->Yeah.</v>
<v ->I was like,</v>

158
00:06:38.954 --> 00:06:40.800
"This is amazing, this is where I meant to be."

159
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.050
<v ->I couldn't see a thing.</v>

160
00:06:44.210 --> 00:06:45.840
<v ->It's Peter Allen.</v>

161
00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:46.840
Remember my mom thought

162
00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:48.210
you went to school with Peter Allen?

163
00:06:48.210 --> 00:06:49.043
<v ->Yeah.</v>

164
00:06:49.043 --> 00:06:50.810
<v ->It was actually Peter Andre.</v>

165
00:06:50.810 --> 00:06:51.643
<v ->I know.</v>

166
00:06:51.643 --> 00:06:52.476 line:15% 
<v ->She didn't know that.</v>

167
00:06:52.476 --> 00:06:53.309 line:15% 
<v ->I'd be 80 by now.</v>

168
00:06:56.186 --> 00:06:57.022
<v ->She thought that you might</v>

169
00:06:57.022 --> 00:06:59.355
be a bit younger than that.

170
00:07:01.571 --> 00:07:04.238
Would've been great to meet him.

171
00:07:09.323 --> 00:07:11.983
Wow, now, this is stunning.

172
00:07:11.983 --> 00:07:14.220 line:15% 
They just pop right off the wall,

173
00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:15.550 line:15% 
it's so amazing.

<v ->You know William Yang photograph?</v>

175
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:20.560 line:15% 
<v ->Yeah, he's...</v>

176
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.080
<v ->Document the fashion parade?</v>

177
00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:24.803
<v ->Yeah, he was at, what I think, the Flamingo Park.</v>

178
00:07:26.010 --> 00:07:27.570
<v Will>That's such incredible women,</v>

179
00:07:27.570 --> 00:07:30.950
and these portraits really capture them,

180
00:07:30.950 --> 00:07:33.543
like they are literally this vibrant,

181
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:36.903
beautiful, world of colour.

182
00:07:37.900 --> 00:07:40.150
I've admired them for so long.

183
00:07:40.150 --> 00:07:41.440
<v ->Even though they're so separate,</v>

184
00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:44.520
you can feel the love between them.

185
00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:46.703
There is a connection.

186
00:07:47.980 --> 00:07:51.370
<v ->What I love is that friendship</v>

187
00:07:51.370 --> 00:07:54.160
is seen as a love story,

188
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.610
and sometimes your friends

189
00:07:56.610 --> 00:07:58.480
are the people you love the most in the world.

190
00:07:58.480 --> 00:07:59.313
<v ->Yeah.</v>

191
00:08:02.276 --> 00:08:03.862
Check out the patterns, I didn't see that.

192
00:08:03.862 --> 00:08:06.852
<v ->Wow.</v>
<v ->They've got very...</v>

193
00:08:06.852 --> 00:08:07.685
<v ->This is cool.</v>
<v ->I think we should</v>

194
00:08:07.685 --> 00:08:09.535
make bedspreads and kimonos.
<v ->Yeah.</v>

195
00:08:13.410 --> 00:08:17.543
This one reminds me of that Freda Conway.

196
00:08:18.534 --> 00:08:21.334
You know, double entree?
<v ->Yeah.</v>

197
00:08:21.334 --> 00:08:23.475 line:15% 
<v Will>Apparently, they got married three times.</v>

198
00:08:23.475 --> 00:08:24.435 line:15% 
<v Garrett>Three times?</v>

199
00:08:24.435 --> 00:08:28.510 line:15% 
<v ->Yeah, 'cause they got married in New York,</v>

200
00:08:28.510 --> 00:08:30.240 line:15% 
and then they went back when it was illegal,

201
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.267
I mean, when it was legalised.

202
00:08:32.267 --> 00:08:33.100
<v ->Yeah.</v>

203
00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:33.933
<v ->And then they came to Australia</v>

204
00:08:33.933 --> 00:08:35.975
and got married again, same sex marriage.

205
00:08:35.975 --> 00:08:37.486
<v ->Oh, right.</v>

206
00:08:37.486 --> 00:08:39.313
<v ->Why'd you think one wedding won't be enough?</v>

207
00:08:39.313 --> 00:08:41.840
<v ->Well. (laughs)</v>

208
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.163
Imagine doing three, it's-

209
00:08:44.127 --> 00:08:45.280
<v ->It's so nice that they were able</v>

210
00:08:45.280 --> 00:08:47.170
to do it in Australia.

211
00:08:47.170 --> 00:08:48.650
<v Garrett>Yeah.</v>

212
00:08:48.650 --> 00:08:50.060
<v ->I love that the exhibition</v>

213
00:08:50.060 --> 00:08:52.320
is about queer love stories.

214
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:53.400
<v ->Yeah.</v>

215
00:08:53.400 --> 00:08:54.885
<v ->We wouldn't be in it otherwise.</v>

216
00:08:54.885 --> 00:08:56.552
<v ->No, no, no, can't.</v>

217
00:08:58.680 --> 00:09:01.153
I like how the watch doesn't have anything on it.

218
00:09:02.125 --> 00:09:03.625
What do they want?

219
00:09:07.405 --> 00:09:09.796
<v ->Actually great invested in historics,</v>

220
00:09:09.796 --> 00:09:10.629
isn't that cool?

221
00:09:10.629 --> 00:09:11.462
<v ->Yeah.</v>

222
00:09:11.462 --> 00:09:13.380
<v ->And I like all the mixture,</v>

223
00:09:13.380 --> 00:09:16.860
mediums having paintings and photographs.

224
00:09:16.860 --> 00:09:17.980
Maybe I'll vid again?

225
00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:19.260
<v Garrett>Yeah.</v>

226
00:09:19.260 --> 00:09:20.410
<v Will>Imagine now, people having</v>

227
00:09:20.410 --> 00:09:21.800
to hear our video all day long.

228
00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:23.350
<v Garrett>I am passing these.</v>
