The Bas presents Kurt Sorensen | A Strange Occurrence

On the morning of 10 October 1880, an abandoned skiff of five sailors who had been surveying the Eurobodalla coast was found at what is now known as 'Mystery Bay', about halfway between Narooma and Bermagui. No sign of the men has ever been found. A Strange Occurrence is an exhibi on of hand printed colour photographic prints, exploring these events through a gothic European idea of the an podean consciousness. The 'strange occurrence', as contemporary newspapers called it, happened in a wilderness pulsa ng with ancient unseen forces, obscured by clinging mist or undula ng shadows. Using the 'Bermagui Mystery' as a catalyst, the photographs seek to reflect on the unease that permeated through interac ons Europeans experienced with the Australian landscape.
