Aurora Australis - 20 Years In The Ice.
With over 1000 days south of Tasmania in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, photographer Doug Thost has aged with the ship he has travelled on so many times. His exhibition focuses on the ship and its character, its marks and blemishes from a hard life in a harsh environment, and coincides with the 20th Anniversary of its launch and first trip south.
Having travelled and worked on the Aurora eleven times since its maiden season in the summer of 1990-91, Thost has had the opportunity to experience first hand the changing life of this hard-working ship. His exhibition explores not only the “traditional” images that one would expect of such an exhibition - the ship in the ice, people working and living on board – but also concentrates on the details that many of us would gloss over – chipped paint, a signature welded onto the deck by a member of the crew, marine buoys on the trawl deck, chains and cargo, icicles dripping from railings. The art is in the detail here, and elevates this etion from one that is simply documentary, to an exion that explores the minutia of a large working ship.
