ʻExitʼ is a photographic/video installation piece shot in Brewarrina, remote NSW, Australia.

Shot by Tristan Still (tristanstill.com), Chris Erlbeck (chriserlbeck.com), Sam Stephenson.

The story follows the classic narrative of a road trip and aesthetically celebrates the Australian landscape, however reaches beyond the narrative to explore tensions of time, space and the sexual tension between two female hitchhikers.

ʻExitʼ consists of three interweaving cyclical stories that were shot as a series of stills and HD video. The imagery is exhibited as continuous looping projections, supplemented by looped motion video footage of various highway landscapes and an intimate underwater scene.
