I’m pleased to share installation views from Selenge, currently on exhibition at the 2026 Dali International Photography Exhibition in Yunnan, China.

Developed in northern Mongolia, Selenge explores atmosphere, memory and the experience of landscape. The landscape often felt untouched by modernity, and there were moments when history seemed less like a distant past and more like a living presence, vibrating up through the earth beneath my feet. Rather than describing a place directly, the work seeks to reconstruct the sensation of being there through shifting weather, layered gestures, distance and light.

Drawing upon both photographic practice and the visual language of landscape painting, the images occupy a space between observation and recollection, between what was seen and what remains in memory. The series is less concerned with documenting a place than with evoking the experience of standing within it.

The exhibition brings together nine large-scale works from the series. Seeing the work presented at this scale has been particularly rewarding, allowing the relationships between the images to unfold across the space and emphasising the rhythm, repetition and variation that underpin the project.

Alongside exhibiting Selenge, I also had the privilege of curating Shane Hulbert’s exhibition A Passive Frequency. It has been a pleasure to present two distinct Australian photographic voices within the context of this international exhibition.

My sincere thanks to the organisers, curators, artists and visitors who have contributed to making this exhibition possible.
