Info

Australian Magnum photographer Trent Parke likes to stick to his home soil. While he explores, he enters into a dialogue with the country, taking pictures that reflect his own perceptions, far from the perfect postcard ideal – a parallel world located somewhere between romanticism and realism. When it comes to the interplay of light and shadow, Parke is a true magician.
