"The Fate of the world's largest island hangs in the balance..."

...so begins Trent Parke's introduction to his long-awaited new body of work, Minutes to Midnight. The result of a two-year road trip around Australia, this exhibition is a bold fusion of documentary traditions and a radical contemporary imagination. Minutes to Midnight is an intense and darkly beautiful vision of Australia - one man's attempt to find his place within a country vastly different from the one in which he grew up.

Trent Parke is one of the most innovative and exciting photographers around. He is the only Australian photographer in the celebrated Magnum group, and he won America's prestigious W Eugene Smith Award for humanistic photography in 2003. This major new body of work will form the basis of a book to be published in America later in 2005.
