> DESCRIPTION

In 2007, Angela Palmer set out to capture the essence of the dirtiest place on Earth and then the cleanest. The stagnant smog of the coal-producing city of Linfen, China is a world away from the serene woodland and blustery Roaring Forties winds of Cape Grim, Tasmania. Collecting air samples, puddle samples and studying the effect of the air on her pristine white outfits, Angela’s resulting work provides a fascinating meditation on our place in extreme environments.
