Renowned Australian photographer Murray Fredericks has unveiled a captivating series of photographs featuring the vast and desolate landscape of Lake Eyre, uniquely captured with the use of a rectangular mirror. Fredericks’s innovative approach involves transporting his equipment, including a large rectangular mirror, into the heart of this barren expanse.
By strategically placing the mirror within the inch-deep waters of the lake, he captures stunning reflections of the dramatic sky, creating surreal and mesmerizing compositions. These reflections, juxtaposed with the mirror’s sharp lines against the natural landscape, produce images that are both striking and thought-provoking.
This combination of natural beauty and artistic intervention results in a series of photographs that explore themes of infinity, isolation, and the interplay between man-made objects and the natural world. Fredericks’s work not only highlights the stark beauty of Lake Eyre but also pushes the boundaries of landscape photography, offering viewers a unique perspective on this remote and hauntingly beautiful location.
