Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre

Terrain transports us to Lake Eyre in South Australia, the place of Australia’s inland sea: one of the few untouched natural waterways in the world. Choreographer Frances Rings explores the fundamental connection between Aboriginal people and land - how our land looks after us, how we connect with its spirit, and how we regard its future. The images within this gallery were captured by photographer Greg Barrett during the Premiere Season, 2012.
