the boundless plains project (2015)
35mm photographs taken on disposable cameras, scanned digitally
The Boundless Plains Project was a nation-wide photo project that sought to challenge dehumanizing portrayal of refugees in Australian media by offering communities the opportunity to represent themselves.
Participants from across the country were sent a disposable camera to document their new lives, then offered the opportunity to exhibit their photos online along with anything they would like to share…
