Award-winning Australian photographer Stephen Dupont’s latest exhibition Are We Dead Yet? - Rev Heads & Ghost Cars is a new chapter in a long-term documentary project around the climate crisis in Australia. Inspired by his young daughter Ava – a climate activist – Dupont’s discussions about environmental issues inevitably end up at the big question: is it possible to save the planet, or have we pushed Mother Nature to the brink of extinction?

Over the past few years, Dupont has captured the environmental, social and economic tolls of numerous ecological events from locations around Australia that left a ravaged earth and devastated communities in their wake, making Dupont realise the inevitability of the shift in conversation from ‘Is climate change happening?’ to ‘Is it too late?’ Shifting his lens away from fire, drought, floods and forest destruction, with the new Leica M11, Dupont begins to investigate the fuel industry.
