On Country: Photography from Australia opens at Immigration Museum on Friday October 16. Showing for the first time in Australia, On Country is a collection of contemporary photography by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists. Being ‘on Country’ is more than just being situated somewhere, it is about being shaped by that place, connected to it, and having a responsibility to care for it. This exhibition explores the complex and evolving relationship between Country, colonialism, community and identity. It will include a curation of my series Big Sky - work made over a decade on meandering road trips. Big Sky attempts to understand my post-colonial family history and the human relationship to land in Australia’s arid interior. On Country also features the work of Tony Albert and David Charles Collins, Ying Ang, Atong Atem, Sonja and Elisa Jane Carmichael, Maree Clarke, Michael Cook, Brenda L Croft, J Davies, Liss Fenwick, Robert Fielding, The Huxleys, Ricky Maynard, Lisa Sorgini, Tace Stevens, wani toaishara and James Tylor. Curated by Brendan McCleary, Pippa Milne, Dr Kimberley Moulton and Elias Redstone.This Exhibition was originally developed by PHOTO Australia and co-produced with the Rencontres d’Arles.   PHOTO Australia was founded by Elias Redstone with ongoing support of the Bowness Family Foundation and the Naomi Milgrom Foundation.

Honoured to have this work shortlisted for the Bowness Photography Prize 2026 at Museum of Australian Photography. Title: Longwood bushfire, Taungurung Country, Ruffy, Victoria, Australia. For over a decade, I have returned to the Australian bush to make pictures of a landscape under pressure - droughts, storms, bushfires. Pastoralism is steeped into Australia’s colonial cultural mythology, but we now reckon with its environmental consequences as climate change compounds them. I made this photograph on Taungurung Country in the aftermath of the Longwood bushfire last summer. The scene recalled the idealised Australian landscape depicted across colonial painting and history, that vision subverted by a scorched flock of sheep at rest amongst the gum trees. Congrats to my fellow shortlisted artists and thank you to the jury Natasha Bullock @natasha.bullock (Senior Curator, Photography NGV) Petrina Hicks @petrina.hicks (artist + winner Bowness Prize 2014) and Anouska Phizacklea @anouska_phizacklea (MAPh Director) Pigment print, 130 x 104 cm by @peter_hatzipavlis Come see the show - opening Sept 17th @maph_photography 17 Aug 2026

‘On Country: Photography from Australia’, the first-ever exhibition to focus on Australia at the Rencontres d’Arles, will be shown in France this year and I’m incredibly honoured that my series Big Sky is included in the presentation. 'On Country: Photography from Australia' is a landmark exhibition highlighting diverse photographic practice in Australia through the work of 17 Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists and collectives exploring aspects of being ‘on Country’ – a term embodied by First Peoples in Australia to describe the lands, waterways, seas and cosmos to which they are connected. Exhibiting Artists: Adam Ferguson Atong Atem Brenda L Croft (Gurindji/Malngin/Mudburra) Elisa Jane Carmichael & Sonja Carmichael (Ngugi/Quandamooka) J Davies James Tylor (Kaurna) Lisa Sorgini Liss Fenwick Maree Clarke (Yorta Yorta/Wamba Wamba/Mutti Mutti/Boonwurrung) Michael Cook (Bidjara) Ricky Maynard (Pakana) Robert Fielding (Yankunytjatjara/Western Arrernte peoples) Tace Stevens (Noongar/Spinifex) The Huxleys: Will Huxley & Garrett Huxley (Gumbaynggirr/Yorta Yorta) Tony Albert (Kuku Yalanji) & David Charles Collins wani toaishara Ying Ang The exhibition is co-produced by the Rencontres d’Arles and PHOTO Australia and on display 7 July – 5 October 2025. Curated by PHOTO Australia Founder/Artistic Director Elias Redstone, Guest Curator Kimberley Moulton (Yorta Yorta), and PHOTO Australia Curators Pippa Milne and Brendan McCleary. Supported by the Australian Government through the International Cultural Diplomacy Arts Fund and the Bowness Family Foundation. Additional support from the Australian Embassy in France.

Bowness Photography Prize: TIME + PLACE Artists' concerns, cares and preoccupations are expressed through their works in the 2026 Bowness Photography Prize. Through landscape, they attend to histories: from the familial to the colonial. Read excerpts from their artist statements below and come see the images in person at MAPh! Teo Treloar: ‘The tether’ is part of my ongoing photographic body of work made in the Australian alpine region with expired analogue materials. ‘The tether’ attends to the idea of ‘relational gravity’ – the pull between people, places, histories and materials. ‘Tether’ suggests attachment, tension and distance: forces that bind one thing to another. Film degradation remains visible within the image, allowing the photographic surface to hold both exposure and process. Unstable material conditions produce an unreliable image of landscape, one that resists being read through a fixed or neutral view. The work presents landscape as a relational subject shaped by distance, attachment and loss, and tethered to histories of naming, framing, colonisation and dispossession. @kafkas_pencil Adam Ferguson: 'For over a decade I have returned to the Australian bush to make pictures of a landscape under pressure – droughts, storms, bushfires. Pastoralism is steeped in our colonial cultural mythology, but we now reckon with its environmental consequences as climate change compounds them. Growing up in western NSW, my work is informed by my early impressions of European settler identity. It's a way of making sense of my family history, and of this country. I made this photograph in the aftermath of the Longwood bushfire last summer. The scene recalls the idealised Australian landscape depicted across colonial painting and history, that vision subverted by a scorched flock of sheep at rest amongst the gum trees.' @adamfergusonstudio 🗓️Until 8 November 💌 FREE ✨ Curated by MAPh Director @anouska_phizacklea -- Images: Teo TRELOAR The tether 2026 pigment ink-jet print courtesy of the artist and Olsen Gallery (Sydney) Adam FERGUSON Longwood bushfire, Taungurung Country, Ruffy, Victoria, Australia 2026 pigment ink-jet print courtesy of the artist 31 Oct 2026

Outposts — Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio). These photographs were made in 2009 and 2010 while on assignment in Afghanistan — across Helmand, Kunar, and Wardak provinces — covering the war for TIME Magazine. While embedded with U.S. forces on remote combat outposts, I began making portraits of soldiers and marines in the downtime, focusing on quieter, more spare moments. As warfare has become increasingly shaped by technology and non-human actors, large ground deployments like this seem unlikely to return. Yet today, against the backdrop of ongoing global conflict, they carry a different weight. /Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio) #FotografiskaFeatures 28 Jun 2026

Faces of War — Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio). These photographs were made while working in war zones — Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Iraq — in close collaboration with civilians, sitting together over extended interviews and building each image through that exchange. I was drawn to portraiture for its ability to cut through overarching geopolitical narratives, where candid reportage can fall short. Portraits offer something more intimate and nuanced — a record of personal testimony. Sometimes the act of listening felt more important than the image itself. /Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio) #FotografiskaFeatures 27 Jun 2026

Migrantes — Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio). In February 2021, following a shift in U.S. presidential administrations, migrants from Central and South America gathered along the U.S.–Mexico border, displaced by poverty and, in many cases, persecution. Media coverage often fixated on vulnerability — figures wading the Rio Grande, clutching their loved ones, or detained by Border Patrol — rarely reflecting perspectives from the Mexican side, or portraying migrants with dignity and agency. In response, I travelled into Mexico at key flashpoints along the border, working collaboratively with migrants as they waited in limbo. Using a tripod-mounted film camera, I composed each frame, then handed over the shutter via a cable release — inviting each participant to create their own self-portrait and actively participate in documenting their own lives. This process seeks to subvert the traditional dynamics of photojournalism, reframing migrants not as subjects of spectacle, but as co-authors of their own image. /Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio) #FotografiskaFeatures 25 Jun 2026

Big Sky — Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio) Big Sky is a deeply personal work. After years living and working abroad, it became a way to return home — to respond to my own understanding of the Australian bush and European settler identity. Through the series, I attempt to challenge and reposition archetypal ideas of Australian identity against the complex realities of contemporary life in the country's arid interior. You can see more images from the series in my book Big Sky, published by @gost_books. /Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio) #FotografiskaFeatures 24 Jun 2026

As my series “Big Sky” unfolded, I found myself working through extremes — floods, heatwaves, bushfires, destructive storms. The Climate Council reports that 84% of Australians have been directly affected by at least one climate-fuelled disaster since 2019. These conditions challenge the relationship between people and land, threaten livelihoods, and reshape the cultural and environmental fabric of the Australian bush. Australia's changing landscape is a harbinger of what is to come. /Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio) #FotografiskaFeatures 23 Jun 2026

I'm Australian photographer Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio), and over the coming week I'll be sharing a selection of my work here on @fotografiska. First up: Big Sky — a photographic survey of Australia's heartland made over a decade, between 2013 and 2023, driving more than 150,000 km across the country's interior. Shaped by childhood memories, the series reckons with Australian identity and landscape in all its contradictions — fading iconic events, shrinking small towns, Aboriginal connection to Country, pastoral life, and the slow pressures of globalisation and climate change. /Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio) #FotografiskaFeatures 22 Jun 2026

Adam Ferguson spent ten years photographing Australia's interior. Over more than 150,000 kilometres, he documented a landscape under pressure from drought, heat, and environmental change. What began as a personal return to the country became a record of a place in transition. The photographs ask what happens when a national myth collides with reality. Follow along as he takes over the Fotografiska Instagram account this week. Adam Ferguson (@adamfergusonstudio) #FotografiskaFeatures 22 Jun 2026

In Big Sky, Adam Ferguson explores the Australian Outback as a site of tension, shaped by globalisation, extraction, and climate disruption. Through a decade of work, he confronts the complexities of an area covering 73 percent of Australia’s territory, but inhabited by just 5 percent of its population, focusing on those navigating its shifting realities. “Big Sky” published by @gost_books @adamfergusonstudio @pictorique Edited by @vandicla 31 Jan 2026
