The Thylacine’s story is one of presence and absence, caught between memory and extinction. The last known one died 7 September 1936 at Beaumaris Zoo in Hobart—once widespread across Tasmania, lost to bounties, habitat destruction, disease, and introduced species. Working closely with Melbourne Museum’s archived collections, these intimate portraits let their quiet presence emerge from storage. Removed from display context, the portraits hold memory, loss, and history in quiet stillness.
