Some snippets on film of SANCTUARY, the 2025 edition of the @fremantlebiennale , which took place this November. We’re so lucky to have a Biennale in WA, let alone one in our very own home town of Walyalup. Enormous thanks to @tom___muller and the team for enabling, empowering, encouraging and elevating art and artists. The creativity of humans defines who we are, gives us identity and shapes our society in meaningful and positive ways. Creativity changes people, and minds, and the world — it really makes life worth living. As a side note: that less than 1% of WA’s state budget is spent on the arts completely blows my mind. #fremantlebiennale #walyalup #35mmphotography

One of the things I’ve most regretted this year is the abandonment of my photography practice. I’ve not really been in the head space to create… Which has made my head space worse, and so on, and on, in a spiralling fashion 🌀 BUT! As @niqueallbrook once wrote, Pretty Flowers Grow In Shit, and this weekend I’ve managed to sprout three flowers. 1) Room Service for the @fremantlebiennale (first pic by @duncanwright__ ). My work occupies Room 30 - it reflects on the tensions of our police state / nanny state / faux sanctuary. I am finally presenting this police car image (from 2020!) in a light-box, as I first envisioned. Thanks to @caseframes and @joes.printing for all your help🔥 2) A sliver of my South Beach pontoon image adorns ex-commercial signage at @thepiazzafremantle_ along South Terrace. My images are shown alongside @timpalman and @jessemarlow and together, they make a surprising and wonderful addition to the footpath (near Timezone). Thank you @_sambloor for curating this mini photo walk 📸 3) @focuspocuslab and @bestwishescoffee are teaming up again for their annual show DOUBLE EXPOSURE which opens *tonight* at Best Wishes. My pic from last year is on the poster shown, and my 2025 shot remains nautical (as per final image). 📸🎞️ #photography #art #35mm #filmphotography #filmphoto #fremantlebiennale #walyalup #artist #focuspocus #bestwishes #katehulett

I just received a zillion film photos back from the developer which included some shots from my trip around Karratha, Murujuga, Dampier and the North West Shelf. Here are a few of them 📸 My visit north happened the same month as my trip to the Northern Hemisphere, and ever since, I’ve been pondering the stark differences in the touristic experiences of (specifically) the Acropolis and Murujuga National Park - two sites of major cultural significance / AKA places that make you say WHOA out loud, on repeat. In short, the differences are: Greece reveres and respects its 3,000-year-old ruins, whilst Australia shows zero respect for its 50,000+ year-old cultural treasures (which include ancient petroglyphs created by the oldest continuous living culture in the world who have special, spiritual connections to country that are of legally recognised importance). I just read a piece written by @hannahferguson___ (of @cheekmedia.co ) who also visited the National Park recently - I’ve popped a link to her story in my bio. I completely agree that the landscape is jaw-droppingly spectacular, but moreover, I found Murujuga to be transformative. It’s a magical place deserving of the greatest respect. **HOWEVER** we’ve allowed (encouraged?) large-scale fertiliser manufacture, destructive processing plants, and the BIGGEST fossil fuel operation IN AUSTRALIA to be co-located (very literally) with this ancient, irreplaceable, precious history. IT’S COMPLETELY BONKERS. Something else - unrelated - that’s been rolling around my mind is that the town of Karratha (a short drive from the North West Shelf aka Gas Central) IS NOT CONNECTED TO MAINS GAS! All the homes and businesses run off gas cylinders. For some reason I found this completely unbelievable. Like, a total kick in the guts for the locals — imagine Woodside, with their cynical distain for the Australian public, chuckling, ‘Haha you can pay EXTRA for your gas, you fools!’. Anyway - enjoy the pics, via @impatientdeveloper Huge thanks to @saveoursonglines the Traditional Owners @last.place.on.earth for production /support and @focuspocuslab focuspocuslab for 35mm dev and scan 🙏🏼

“These pics were taken on a last minute trip to Europe to meet my friend (Sarah Booth) who was travelling on a Churchill Fellowship. We met in Berlin, and over the course of three weeks visited Athens, Lisbon, Amsterdam and London. On my way home, my flight was delayed and I spent 24 hours in Doha. As always, it’s so good to capture the layers of history, culture and ingenuity that come from older and more self-assured cities. I find Europe to be so generous in spirit, and its gentle anarchy a joy to photograph.” A real treat to find @impatientdeveloper walk through the doors of the lab with a big bundle of rolls fresh from returning from Europe! You know there’s going to be an endless treasure trove of very.. ‘Kate’ photos, that only Kate seems able to capture. Characteristically, these photos often feel like a discovery of really looking around, walking the streets, paying close attention, and being delighted at what there is to uncover. Street corners, fresh fruit, architecture, lots of colour and lots of sunshine bring every one of Kate’s frames to life. There’s always a sense that if we were to walk the same streets we’d be wondering where all the photo opportunities were and miss all the moments Kate finds. They’re often reflective, comedic, calming and investigative all at once. 📸 Nikon L35 AF & Pentax Espio 80V 🎞️ Kodak Gold, Kodak Colorplus & Fuji 200 🤝 Dev+Scans by us • • • #35mm #grainisgood #madewithkodak #the35mmdiary #filmlifemagazine #filmwave #analogphotography #analoguecollective #focuspocuslab
