jp03 _ 24 interrupted views of Australian landscape, 2026 Archival digital print 100 x 265 cm

The work submitted comes from a continuing project "Roadside Attractions". In 2023, I started photographing from the passenger seat as I travelled through the Australian landscape. The work is created with an "infra-red" digital camera and edited to false colour. I'm interested in the land and how it is used. Success and failure, care and neglect, great potential and devastating waste. In the work, "24 interrupted views", I point my lens at what is hidden. So far, the project has 8000 images.
