In the Central Desert of Australia stands Ayer's Rock, an imposing, stony outcropping in a vast sun-bleached landscape. Known as Uluru to the Aborigines who worshipped there, the Rock is an intricately detailed monolith of caves, sparse vegetation and tenacious animal life. The Cantrills spent 14 days encamped there, observing the modalities of appearance, shifting through luminous desert light. The intimacy of their camera abstracts the commonplace into images suggestive of human gestures and misplaced objects. Fragments of Aboriginal rock paintings found in the caves add a dimension of loss, of spirit withdrawn. Eventually, this study of details produces a hallucinatory loss of scale, the monolith appearing at once immense and diminutive. The Second Journey is a visual, caressing communion with the remnants of an ancient people and a far more ancient monolith.
