Tjoritja Project is an ongoing collection of moving pictures presented in various forms. After living/working as a Park Ranger in Tjoritja, (West MacDonnell Ranges) Central Australia, Samuel returned with a camera, and spent 6 months feeling, exploring and responding.

Tjoritja Fire 2021 is an open-ended dialogue about fire. In the work, the proximity of the fire moves from close to distant—both for the viewer and for the animals and plants that are intertwined. As the intimacy and intensity varies, the work asks questions of our own feelings and determinations of fire; as a vital and primal life-force, or as a chaotic and destructive spectre. Fire has always been embedded in the Australian landscape—an important contributor to ecosystems, that has shaped plants, animals and human interactions for millennia. Fire will continue to be ever-present. How we understand fire will continue to shape us, and shape country. Fire is an opportunity to reflect and learn, to destroy or reinvigorate. To be exhibited as part of the “All the bees are [not] dying” Exhibition, curated by Peter Breen, Kingaroy Regional Art Gallery, Queensland.

Untitled 2018 is a portrait of desert fire, chronicling the dark nature of this natural phenomenon. Presented at the 2018 Fleurieu Film Festival, South Australia, this experimental video works explores the intimate and immediate relationship between subject and artist. This piece challenges how we perceive fire, and how videographers represent ‘place’ and ‘the wild.’

Treat ‘em Green, Keep ‘em Keen 2009 used multimedia and live music as a platform to communicate messages about the Central Australian environment to the community and public. A feature artist in the 2009 Alice Desert Festival, Samuel projected this footage as part of a live music gig at the Araluen Centre. Furthermore, projected/VJ'd the footage at the opening of the festival at Anzac Oval.
