Big City Press Handmade in association with Venn Gallery presents
Australia’s Greatest Hits, a new experimental publication by West
Australian photographer Joel Wynn Rees containing a series of
works taken on a recent journey through the North-West of the
country.
Originally from Broome, Rees returned there to re-connect with
landscapes and people that continue to inspire his practice. The
photographs explore representations of Australian identity and
seek to uncover a unique vision of the characters and life found in
the isolated terrain of the outback. Rees travelled north from Alice
Springs and made his way up through Tennant Creek, Kununurra
and Halls Creek to Broome and then traversed back downsouth to
Port Hedland accumulating stories and experiences along the way.
The resulting artworks aim to provide an authentic account of their
environs, whilst also probing often stereotypical concepts about
the “Australian experience”.
