Unstable Ground is a two-channel video portrait of two men, made over a nine-month period in institutional, public and private spaces in Hobart. Unstable Ground uses documentary style video, stationery shots, semi-fictionalised narrative and ambient sound to reveal aspects of the lives of these two men who suffer from mental illness. Unstable Ground began through Newitt's interest in a local mental health care facility called the ‘Peacock Centre’, visited by both men.
