This exhibition of landscape photography explores the mystery and melancholy of the Australian landscape by re-constructing and subverting three iconic landscape settings.
The exhibition challenges viewers to re-engage with recognisable landscape images in new and interesting ways, while playing with the conventions of the medium of landscape photography. With their focus on the mine-scarred desert landscape of Coober Pedy, an abandoned and crumbling power station and the mangrove tides which wash up and sweep away remnants of human existence, these images also poignantly remind the viewer of the transience of human life, especially on the Australian continent.
