Trent Parke – The Black Rose
In his new exhibition “The Black Rose” Australian photographic artist Trent Parke (above) showcases several hundred photographs and moving image works that explore universal themes of birth, death, pain, loss and memory from a uniquely personal perspective.
“My photography has always been about asking questions. I am on an endless quest to find out why,” says Parke, who is the only Australian member of Magnum Photos.
The Black Rose is Parke’s most ambitious project to date and has taken him seven years to complete. It represents Parke’s attempt to reclaim his own memories and delve into the bigger issues affecting us all.
“By stripping himself bare to reveal his own imperfections, Parke pursues the bigger meaning of life and in doing so he challenges us, to reflect on our own lives,” says Nick Mitzevich, Director, Art Gallery of South Australia.

Bradley Scott – LOLA
LOLA is an exploration of Bradley Scott’s youth and generation and no moment is too outrageous, sacred, absurd or banal. This work won’t appeal to everyone, but it is one of the most honest attempts to capture life as the photographer experiences it.
