Exhibition: Relicts (Melbourne, 20 June - 9 July 2023)

[mark.darragh]

This exhibition follows on from my 2020 Wilderness Gallery exhibition in Tasmania. It incorporates some of that previous work, as well as new photographs, in the broader context of Australia’s temperate and alpine ecosystems. In particular it focus on relict species and plant communities found in those environments and their bio-geographical relationships with New Zealand, South America, and Antarctica, all once part of the ancient super-continent of Gondwana.

The large-format film photographs are drawn from journeys over a period of 19 years, from 2003 to 2022, and represent landscapes from Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, New Zealand, and Chilean Patagonia.

Thank you, Barry. I hope you get a chance to get down to see it.

I've included a link to the article on View Camera Australia which gives a little more background on the work.
