For the festival Trent Parke will present the European premiere of his latest work, Monument, which draws together images produced over a 25 year period. Monument stands as an elegy to time, to the late light of Sydney streets, the movement of people and the circling of moths as night falls.
Trent Parke is known for his impressionistic, long-form work that explores themes of identity, place and community, often working in rural Australia. Parke began his career in photojournalism, becoming the first Australian member of Magnum Photos in 2007. He has won 3 World Press Photo Awards, alongside the W. Eugene Smith grant for humanistic photography. His work has been exhibited widely and is held by all major national galleries in Australia.
