How does a photographer manage to capture the essence of a enviroment rather than 'just another' landscape image. That was photographer Murray Fredericks mission when he began his solo pilgrimages to the remote Lake Eyre in South Australia. Now six years after his first trip director Micheal Angus has compiled the video diaries of a mans experiences from one of the most desolate and isolated places on earth.
Often spending five weeks at a time in the massive dry basin of Lake Eyre with only the horizon line as a reference point. Murray manages to overcome the difficulties of the harsh environment to capture a series of stunning images that show not only the vast empty vistas of the Lake, but colours that look like they were created in an artists studio.
On the projects website it discusses in some detail the Murray's aim for the project and some of the difficulties faced in making it. Also on the site is one of the triumphs of SALT, Murray's time captures bring the details of a ever changing environment into sharp focus for the viewer in a collection breathtaking videos.
