Antarctica – A Place in the Wilderness

Having spent several months on an Arts Fellowship in Antarctica, Brisbane photographer Judy Parrott’s exhibition of photographic works, audio, and found objects present a rare glimpse of life on Australian research stations.

Antarctica – A Place in the Wilderness is the product of an arts fellowship with the Australian Antarctic Division and six-week residency at Casey Station, one of three Australian bases. The exhibition covers life on the ship Aurora Australis whilst journeying south. It documents six weeks at Casey Station, including the work of the scientists and tradespeople, field trips, the day to day life of the station and the environment, and an Antarctic Christmas and New Year.
