Borung, Victoria, Australia.

The abandoned primary school in Borung Victoria, Australia. [2019-10-19 17:01:12]

Late last year I managed a small day trip up into the Mallee in search of material for my psychogeography project.

I would have preferred to stay longer but overnight stays are tricky at the best of times. They are currently impossible with the pandemic.

I was impressed that there were still some houses occupied in this hamlet. There was a pub but not much else. And of course a wheat silo, also abandoned.

Nature Boy: a Photobook by Brad Rimmer

Discovered on the Flakphoto Network on Facebook this morning.

Another book I'd like to buy.

"Nature Boy is a sequel to Australian photographer Brad Rimmer’s monograph Silence (2009). Probing at the essence of rural Australia and the emotional impact of the natural landscape upon individual psyches. Rimmer this time adds stories to the compendium. The raw, yet poetic narratives conjure the late adolescent years of a lad wrestling with whether to stay or leave his remote country homeland for the lure of the city and so much more. A coming-of-age account the elegant mix of observation and heartfelt reminiscence are almost autobiographical, and hint to the nascent sensibilities of the young Rimmer as an artist."

Upcoming Exhibition.

I have been invited to exhibit later this year at the Murray Bridge Regional Gallery. I scanned some 5x4 negatives and had them output digitally.
