2009 Salt

Directors: Michael Angus, Murray Fredericks

Script: Michael Angus

Producer: Gabrielle Dalton

For six years photographer-artist Murray Fredricks has cycled out onto Lake Eyre in the northern extremes of South Australia. on the fast emptiness of the salt lake, he has created an amazing body of time-lapse photography. with a 360 degree horizon line as his only orientation, he has found a profusion; small things transformed by the clarity and intensity and light and colour. And like all the wanderers in the desert, he has also had to confront himself. Fredricks' video diaries chronicle his artistry but also his loneliness, and the resourcefulness necessary to survive. Michael Angus has augmented Fredricks' footage with striking aerial photography, time-lapse video and the haunting sounds of Aajinta's Harmonic Spheres to produce a memorable experience of what it means to look at landscape with fresh eyes.
