Elvis: Direct from Graceland
Friday 15 April 2022, Bendigo Art Gallery
gallery entrance—
a black-and-white headshot
framed in gold
round platform—
Elvis’s white MG painted
lipstick red
technicolour clips
from Elvis Presley movies
and concerts on loop
stage full of mannequins
well-dressed
in The King’s colourful jumpsuits
lone display case
’gainst an off-white wall—
The King’s black guitar
amidst treasures—gold
-plated rotary dial phone
from Elvis’s bedside
heart of the gallery—
a black-and-white tux
beside a white dress
Elvis: Direct from Graceland is at Bendigo Art Gallery, Victoria until 17 July, 2022.
