👽 Extraterrestrial Street Photography // Trent Parke

Trent Parke, the only Australian member of Magnum Photos, is celebrated for his dark, cinematic vision of everyday life. His breakthrough project Minutes to Midnight captured a two-year road trip across Australia, revealing the country’s myths, contradictions, and surreal beauty. Earlier, Dream/Life documented Sydney in high-contrast black and white, turning ordinary street scenes into something otherworldly. Parke’s later projects, including The Christmas Tree Bucket and *The Black Rose*, delve into personal memory, family life, and the passage of time, blending documentary and autobiography with a lyrical, sometimes unsettling edge. This video explores Parke’s career, his distinctive style, and how his work pushes street photography into poetic territory.
