It depicts Kylie (The Singing Budgie) Minogue as the Virgin Mary and Clive Robertson (pictured) as Christ. The two, wearing religious robes, form the centrepiece of a triptych, and are flanked by the coils and circuits of a television set.
Another entry is First Supper by Susan White, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. It features an Aboriginal woman as Christ. She wears a T-shirt emblazoned with an Aboriginal flag and is flanked by female disciples. Judas is represented by a blonde woman in dungarees with a money bag, a can of Coke and a hamburger. The other disciples content themselves with traditional plain buns.
