Many Italian migrants came to Australia from rural areas of their homeland and settled in parts of their new country that allowed them to make a living from working the land. Hundreds of them, including Onsonato Galluzzo, settled in semi-rural areas around Sydney. This ABC report from 1958, tells the story of how Galluzzo arrived in Australia in 1939 and acquired land in Epping, just north of Parramatta, after the war. When more of his family joined him in Australia in 1949, they tilled the three-and-a-half acre property together and turned it into a thriving farm to support the family for generations to come.

This piece is inspired by the Korean Mukbang video genre, an internet broadcast of a person devouring huge quantities of food in real time. Parramatta Mukbang invites the viewer to witness four people eat distinct dishes that pay homage to the area’s rich and vibrant multicultural make up. Indian sweets, a halal snack pack, laksa and a burger are eaten bite-by-bite, encouraging the viewer to feast its eyes on both the food and the act of eating itself. Created to be displayed in Parramatta Square, this slow TV piece also serves as both a mirror and a companion. Parramatta Mukbang reflects how the community is already interacting with this public gathering space, while also calling on the public to eat together, not alone.
