This video and photographic image series documents the recent Yowie sightings in the Western Suburbs of Sydney.

Both Robinson Crusoe and the Hunch Back of Notre Dame‚ the Yowie hasbeen scientifically researched for decades. The Yowie‚ the hermit‚ thehobo‚ the swag-man; these identities represent the model of theintrovert who exists outside the evolution of contemporary society. Onethat exists in the present‚ without Ikea‚ I Pod or 'I need that shinyobject'. They live within simplicity: the Yowie in the bush‚ theHermit in a cave‚ the Hobo on the streets‚ and the Swag-man 'on theroad' with Jack.

As presented in the 'Alien Presence' series by Daniel Kojta‚ Absence isagain‚ presence. In a continuation of the 'Phenomena Research Venture'‚this project explores the Yowie as both myth and scientific subject. Itis the absence of this creature that strengthens the reality of it’spresence.
