I am thrilled to announce the publication, Fruiting Bodies (Perimeter Editions 111), my third major book and my first with Perimeter Editions! A special edition of 50 copies, which includes a signed and edition diptych of prints (shown in the last image), is now available to order at the link in @perimeterbooks bio ❤️

Rooted in ecofeminist thought, Fruiting Bodies depicts mushrooms growing in pairs, in clusters, or alone – their delicate structures echoing the human body and reclaiming the organic world as a site of feminist inquiry. Like the female body, mushrooms have been understood and valued primarily through their reproductive function. Yet, beneath the surface, a vast underground mycelial network is vital in ways that defy conventional visibility: in care, in knowledge, in reciprocity. Fruiting Bodies documents these quiet, transient structures as metaphors that challenge dominant narratives of fertility and productivity.

Seemingly a departure from my previous works, I hope you will find that nestled within the poetry of this publication, an echo of something beautiful and familiar 💕

Please reach out for any press queries. I’m so so excited to share this with you!

Incredibly honoured to be exhibiting my series ‘Gold Coast’ in ‘On Country: Photography from Australia’, the first-ever exhibition to focus on Australia at the Rencontres d’Arles 2025. I will be there this year so please reach out to catch up if you’re around! I will also have a few of the last special edition copies of the ‘Gold Coast’ book available to purchase at the festival.

‘On Country: Photography from Australia’ is a landmark exhibition highlighting diverse photographic practice in Australia through the work of 17 Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists and collectives exploring aspects of being ‘on Country’ – a term embodied by First Peoples in Australia to describe the lands, waterways, seas and cosmos to which they are connected.

The exhibition is co-produced by the Rencontres d’Arles and PHOTO Australia and on display 7 July – 5 October 2025.

Curated by PHOTO Australia Founder/Artistic Director Elias Redstone, Guest Curator Kimberley Moulton (Yorta Yorta), and PHOTO Australia Curators Pippa Milne and Brendan McCleary.

Supported by the Australian Government through the International Cultural Diplomacy Arts Fund and the Bowness Family Foundation. Additional support from the Australian Embassy in France.

“The Quickening” exhibition and artist book is showing at @ccp_australia until April 9th, for those who haven’t yet had a chance to see it. We’ve had amazing speakers in that space during the time that it has been open and seen and heard a plurality of voices across multiple disciplines around the politics of caregiving and photography. I’m so grateful to @ccp_australia for the opportunity to create such an ambitious installation of the work and to have it manifest to the public in a way that I never imagined before.

“You begin your life in expansion. From rolling to crawling to walking, your reach moves outwards from infancy through to adulthood. At the cusp of motherhood, everything instantaneously moves in reverse. Your world begins to shrink, to coalesce into the tight sphere of domestic life. What was once the sun is now the light in your living room. What was once the road, becomes the hallway to the bathroom. Everyone you once knew, becomes the squalling baby in your arms, suddenly unknowable, inconsolable and opaque in their needs and wants. As the external landscape of your old world shifts from mountains to lakes, the change also begins within. In increments and then suddenly faster and faster, you become internally unrecognizable. The task of navigating this new geography, the new days and nights, how you eat, how you sleep, how you love - this seismic transition - is called “matrescence”.

The Quickening details the claustrophobia, myopia, paradoxical loneliness and luminance of this transformative time.”

The exhibition runs until April 9th Wed-Sun 11am-5pm.
Deep thanks goes out to @dboetkers for his faith in me,
@catlincatlincatlin for her curatorial magic
@prismimaging and @colour_factory for their print support
And @teunvd always for his generous wisdom and vision. taken in Centre for Contemporary Photography by @yingang

Fjerde kunstner i utstillingen As Long as There is Light er Ying Ang, en kinesisk-singaporsk fotograf og forfatter bosatt i Melbourne, Australia.

I Fruiting Bodies portretteres en koloni av sopplegemer i parkene nær Angs hjem i Melbourne. I konstant overgang mellom vekst, forfall og fornyelse utfordrer soppens livssyklus tradisjonelle forestillinger om fruktbarhet og produktivitet, og knytter dødelighet til transformasjon, kontinuitet og fellesskap.

The fourth artist featured in the exhibition As Long as There Is Light is Ying Ang, a Chinese-Singaporean photographer and author based in Melbourne, Australia.

In Ying Ang’s Fruiting Bodies, a colony of fungal bodies is portrayed in the parks near her home in Melbourne. In a constant state of transition between growth, decay and renewal, the life cycle of fungi challenges conventional notions of fertility and productivity, connecting mortality to transformation, continuity, and community.

We are thrilled to announce that ‘On Country: Photography from Australia’ opens at Immigration Museum in Naarm/Melbourne on Friday October 16.

Showing for the first time in Australia after its premiere at Rencontres d’Arles, On Country is a collection of contemporary photography by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists.

Being ‘on Country’ is more than just being situated somewhere, it is about being shaped by that place, connected to it, and having a responsibility to care for it.

This exhibition explores the complex and evolving relationship between Country, colonialism, community and identity.

Featuring the work of Tony Albert and David Charles Collins, Ying Ang, Atong Atem, Sonja and Elisa Jane Carmichael, Maree Clarke, Michael Cook, Brenda L Croft, J Davies, Liss Fenwick, Adam Ferguson, Robert Fielding, The Huxleys, Ricky Maynard, Lisa Sorgini, Tace Stevens, wani toaishara and James Tylor.

Curated by Brendan McCleary, Pippa Milne, Dr Kimberley Moulton and Elias Redstone.

This Exhibition was originally developed by PHOTO Australia and co-produced with the Rencontres d’Arles. PHOTO Australia was founded with ongoing support of the Bowness Family Foundation and the Naomi Milgrom Foundation. PHOTO Australia was founded by Elias Redstone.

Abandon Hope by Ying Ang @yingang

This body of work is a meditation on dislocation, transition, and the uneasy terrain between departure and arrival. The flight from familiar demons gives way to the ambiguity of the in-between: cheap coffee and veiled vulnerabilities, barbed wire fences and roads that meet the horizon, moments of accidental tenderness pressed between the desperation of departure and the impossibility of return.

In Abandon Hope, leaving becomes its own form of arrival. To abandon hope is not to despair, but to relinquish the illusion of control, the beginning of the beginning.

In this photo series, Ying Ang (@yingang) highlights the small universe at our feet, raising bigger questions about what we value.

As a woman, Ang “had spent years being told she was disappearing,” simply because she was reaching the end of her fertile phase. Why do we as a society, only value nature in its prime? It’s a question that her project, Fruiting Bodies, seeks to address, in images that are intimate – almost reverent.

🍄 Ying Ang - Fruiting bodies

Née en 1980 à Singapour, Ying Ang vit entre Singapour, New York et Melbourne. Son travail interroge les rôles sociaux en les mettant en regard avec nos environnements naturels, urbains ou numériques.

📷 Avec sa série « Fruiting bodies », véritable inventaire naturaliste réalisé en 2024-2025, l’artiste nous invite à porter attention aux formes discrètes du vivant. Ces photographies de champignons réalisées dans un parc près de Melbourne, en couleur comme en noir et blanc, saisissent ces organismes à différents stades d’émergence : solitaires et dressés, réunis en couples intimes, en décomposition ou dispersant leurs spores. Sous terre, les champignons jouent un rôle essentiel : ils relient les plantes, favorisent l’échange de nutriments et nourrissent les sols. Pour l’artiste, ce réseau devient une métaphore de l’écoféminisme, fondée sur l’entraide, le soin et l’interdépendance.

La série “Fruiting bodies” de Ying Ang est à découvrir dans la forêt dorée, dans le cadre du festival Mondes en commun, jusqu’au 20 septembre 2026 !
