Vic McEwan presents a series of photographic and video artworks made with the Australian Institute of Anatomy Collection from the National Museum of Australia. These specimens in jars lack any detailed records of their origin, rendering them eternally dislocated from their own histories, from the timescales and landscapes in which they lived.
The specimens photographed represent species heavily impacted by human activity. By projecting photographs of their ghostlike presences back onto the landscape, the works invites audiences to consider their relationship with their natural environment and its non-human community.
