This very special publication/artwork, a significant milestone in Hutchinson's career, showcases fifteen key works from his latest large-scale project. Titled 'At that particular moment', the project is a sequel to his widely exhibited and collected work 'An Error Has Occurred/Polar Convergence'.

'At that particular moment' follows Hutchinson's epic adventure into Denali National Park, Alaska, in late 2024, the location of North America's highest peak. Mt Denali, famously known for having the highest altitude variance of any mountain on the planet, and as a result creates its own weather patterns. This very rare anomaly was at the centre of Hutchinson's fieldwork as the National Park succumbs to the pressures of a warming climate.






This special publication is divided into three separate but adjoining chapters: the Entry points, the entry to the National Park and the project, the Interventions, a stark documentation of the landscape that's been forever altered by human interference, and To be continued, the landscapes in the state of flux.

ENCOUNTERS EXHIBITION

Encounters is a body of work inspired by Historic Japanese Photographer Yukio Tabuchi and his pursuit of understanding the natural environment.

Australian photographer Rohan Hutchinson's approach began with capturing the landscape's seasonal transformations, the neighbouring lands of the 2019 Australian bushfires. In the early phases of this two-year journey, his trajectory quickly changed. In fieldwork, reading the landscape through a euro-centric seasonal calendar proved ineffective, and in this learning process, the work became self-reflective.

Weather conditions, previously assumed, shifted without notice, and the changing transformation presented a unique environment of uncertainty and fragility. Each work presented in exhibition and publication form documents Hutchinson's singular encounters with the new landscape and, as a whole, his journey of discovery.

The Exhibition and publication design was inspired by Kogei, Craft 73 edition 1937, published by Japan Folk Art Association.
