koala country: infrared (11. 281)

Guiding us through the territory of Victoria, a place known for its colossal things and oversized monuments like this Big Watermelon in Wantirna or Giant Koala of Dadswell Bridge, photographer Sean Paris presents us with a unique perspective through a spectrum of usually invisible colours, ranging from vivid and supersaturated to washed out of these sculptural landmarks, historic buildings and vintage accommodations and recreational centres of the state. Veering into the domain of thermal imaging with his special lens filters and kit (as cameras are attuned to visible light and not longer wavelengths), these images in warm pinks and blues affords us an idea of how an insect might see the world.
