How often: Once Only

As a photographer and sociologist, Kristin Diemer loves to tell a good story. Her latest exhibition 'A Dingo Fence and Mallee Roots' tells the story of a Victorian family farming on the Fringe.

'Beginning as a one year project, my passion for the beauty of the country and the people saw it evolve into a 6 year odyssey, it has become a final farewell.'

Ironically, one of the first questions people ask when viewing Kristin's photographs for the first time is: "Where are all the people?" Kristin illustrates the often solitary life of remote farming; the ordinary, repetitive, daily life. Kristin Diemer grew up in rural Minnesota (USA) surrounded by corn, soybeans and prairieland. Since living in Australia she has travelled and explored much of the country, marvelling at the similarity of character and stoicism of people building a life in remote communities.

2012 is the Australian Year of the Farmer.
