Australian National Maritime Museum, sculpture
"Johnnie and Mehmet", is a kinetic and aural sculpture located at the Australian National Maritime Museum created in 2016 by Alexander Knox. It commemorates World War I, when Australia’s only remaining submarine, HMAS AE2, made a daring and hazardous incursion into the Dardanelles and the Sea of Marmara, playing a game of cat and mouse with the Ottoman torpedo boat Sultanhisar. The sculpture represents sailors from AE2 and Sultanhisar, Johnnie and Mehmet, who perform a visual ceremony, signalling to each other in semaphore-like movements derived from maritime languages, punctuated by sounds from the maritime world. The former enemies meet again today at the museum in the context of the friendship between Australia and Turkey.
