In this episode, Pia Parolin and I sat down with Australian photographer Adam Ferguson at the Media Days of the "La Gacilly – Baden Photo"-Festival, which runs until mid-October 2025 in Baden, near Vienna.Our conversation centers on “Big Sky”, his decade-long exploration of Australia’s interior. What began in 2013 as an attempt to move beyond the romantic clichés of the Outback grew into a complex portrait of rural life—shrinking towns, enduring Indigenous connections to land, and the pressing realities of climate change and globalization.
