For Paris Photo 2014 Stills Gallery will present a solo exhibition by Adelaide-basedMagnum photographer Trent Parke including key works from his latest seriesThe Camera is God (street portrait series), which premiered in 2014 in Dark Heart, the Adelaide Bi-ennial of Australian Art.

On the cusp between portraiture and abstraction, this work represents an excitingdeparture in Parke’s oeuvre. Expanding our expectations of both portraiture and streetphotography, the anonymous images of people on street corners hum with a sense of the human spirit. The subjects emerge from the film’s grain, as if distilled to their very essence. From a distance these street portraits appear to be recognizable, only to evaporate into abstraction on closer viewing.

Trent Parke’s four individually titled photo books To the Sea, which comprised thewinning works of the Prudential Eye Award for Photography 2014, will also be exhibited at Paris Photo. Whilst he works within the language of documentary photography, Parke sees himself as a storyteller. Bringing narrative, mystery and illusion to the recorded moment, the books journey away from city streets into empty landscapes and small towns, interweaving images into dark and mysteri-ous streams of consciousness.

Finally, Stills will be premiering (exclusively at Paris Photo) 3 works from Parke’scurrent project The Black Rose, a major solo exhibition that will take place at the ArtGallery of South Australia in 2015. These 3 bodies of work show the breadth of hiscreative and technical abilities and of his imagination.

From his earliest foray into the medium, Parke has prowled the streets equipped withhis camera. He has found there, amongst the people, the buildings, the patterns of light and dark-ness, not only a complex and shifting picture of contemporary life, but also an expression of the inner journeys he has taken. Over the course of this practice, he has presented us with a uniquely Australi-an perspective on life, but also on the medium; a perspective that is respectful of the past but probes possibilities for the future.

Trent Parke is one of Australia’s most celebrated photographic artists, and is the only Australian pho-tographer in Magnum Photo Agency. He has received numerous awards and accolades for his artwork, including in January 2014 the inaugural Prudential Eye Award for Photography in Singapore, and previously Gold Lenses from the International Olympic Committee, World Press Photo Awards, and the prestigious W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography for his series Minutes to Midnight. In 2013, Steidl released two hardback publications of Parke’s work, Minutes to Midnight and The Christmas Tree Bucket.

Stills Gallery is one of Australia’s longest running commercial galleries and one of thefew specializing in contemporary photography. The gallery supports both emerging and established artists working across the spectrum of photomedia.

A l’occasion de Paris Photo, la Galerie Stills a le plaisir de présenter les derniers travaux du pho-tographe australien,Trent Parke lors d’une exposition monographique. Camera is God est exposé pour la première fois à Paris. Cette série a fait l’objet d’une grande exposition Dark Heart, à la Biennale des Arts australiens d’Adélaïde.

Entre portrait et abstraction, ce travail est singulier dans l’oeuvre de Trent Parke. Il va au-delà des conventions de la photographie de rue et du portrait, ces images anonymes de passants croisés au coin d’une rue donnent un sens tout particulier à une humanité moderne, urbaine et indif-férenciée. Les visages surgissent des sels d’argent, et distillent peu à peu leur véritable essence. De loin, ils semblent reconnaissables mais dès que l’on s’en approche, ils semblent se dissiper.

La Galerie Stills aura aussi l’honneur de présenter la série de quatre ouvrages de Trent Parke, intit-ulée To The Sea. Ces livres ont reçu le prix du Prudential Eye Award for Contemporary Asian Arts for photography 2014. Bien que son travail vienne de l’écriture photographique documentaire, Trent Parke se voit comme un conteur d’histoires. Ses livres nous emmènent loin des rues bruyantes des villes dans des espaces vides et des petites villes où les images s’entrelacent dans l’épaisseur et l’obscurité des chemins de la conscience.

Enfin, pour la première fois et en exclusivité pour Paris Photo, la Galerie Stills dévoilera 3 photos de son travail en cours de réalisation The Black Rose. Projet qui fera l’objet d’une exposition ma-jeure au Musée de l’Australie du Sud (The Art Gallery of South Australia) en 2015. Camera is God, To The Sea, et The Black Rose illustrent l’ampleur de sa créativité, de son habilité technique et de son imagination.

Dès sa première expérience avec le medium photographique dont il ne cesse d’interroger la fonc-tion, Trent Parke Parke nous a fait partager sa vision singulière et australienne du monde. Il n’y a pas seulement trouvé, parmi les gens, les immeubles, les motifs lumineux et obscurs, une image complexe et mouvante de la vie contemporaine, mais aussi et surtout une expression de ses propres voyages intérieurs.

Trent Parke est l’un des plus grands photographes et artistes australiens, célébré et reconnu de par le monde. Seul photographe australien à appartenir à l’agence Magnum Photos, il a reçu de nom-breux prix et récompenses pour son travaill : le World Press Photo Awards, le Prudential Eye Award for Contemporary Asian Arts for photography in Singapore 2014, le Gold Lenses du International Olympic Committee, et le prestigieux prix et la bourse W. Eugène Smith pour sa série Minutes to Midnight. En 2013, les Editions Steidl ont publié deux de ses livres ; Minutes to Midnight et The Christmas Tree Bucket.

La Galerie Stills est l’une des galeries les plus anciennes et les plus reconnues en Australie. Elle est spécialisée en photographie contemporaine. La galerie représente et défend à la fois des artistes émergents et des artistes établis et reconnus.

From his earliest foray into photography, Parke has prowled the streets. He has found there, not only a complex and shifting picture of contemporary Australian life, but also an expression of inner journeys. The Camera is God returned Parke to the street, but rather than roaming the urban landscape he photographed a single corner of Adelaide, at the same time of day for almost a year. The result is a vast series of portraits; strangers who appear enigmatic and ethereal, dissolving into a crowd. Parke says:

“As people waited at traffic lights on the corner opposite, I would use a shutter release firing constantly at a rapid rate to capture the crowds. I didn’t try to control who my camera captured, but let life and chance decide. There are security cameras all over cities now, doing the same thing, watching daily life happen in front of them. In creating the final prints I zeroed in on particular faces from the crowd captured on the 35mm film and enlarged them. The subjects emerge with different levels of clarity. From far away, some are recognizable, only to evaporate into a pattern of grain close up. It was like putting people under a microscope and seeing them at the level of particles and matter. People looked familiar even though they were anonymous, like when you have a dream about someone and you wake up you try to remember them and you can’t grasp that hard outline of a person’s face. I was trying to capture the transient nature of the street, and indeed life itself.”

Trent Parke’s current work-in-progress, The Black Rose is based around the idea of Home and draws on symbolism, text, chance and dreams.

Parke makes art out of everyday occurrences. His responses to daily life are immediate and intuitive. We see, through his eyes, how objects and ideas are interconnected, how they all form part of a larger picture. Symbolically, a black rose suggests death, the overcoming of a long hard journey, and the ongoing search for perfection. So too, The Black Rose is a meditation on life journeys, on the way the past infiltrates the present and in turn can influence the future. Inspiration for Parke came from trying to understand his own story, and the desire to excavate his own histories, which had become buried under day-to-day life for many years. Despite the very personal nature of this investigation, Parke’s work also reflects on universal questions. Drawing us to make our own connections between the images, the series equally inspires us to self-reflect; upon the minute details of our lives and our unique place in the bigger picture.

To the Sea, is about a journey rather than a destination. Parke is responding to emo-tional and psychological terrain as much as an immediate physical one.

The work takes shape as four individually titled photo books, each unravelling a narra-tive through a trail of images. The remarkable is revealed where you’d least expect it; branches in the undergrowth or the dust cloud from a speeding vehicle. All are trans-formed from the ordinary to extraordinary, somehow abstracted, and beautiful. Stories are formed out of these collections of moments, with each image connecting to the next. Playing with scale, some images are small details writ large, while others bring the epic to the scale of a page. Within the content there is a levelling of the banal and breathtaking.

The Christmas Tree Bucket is a modern-day Christmas story with a dark edge. In an ironic take on the suburban Australian Christmas, Parke casts his friends and family in a twisted tale that blurs fact and fiction. It is left to our imaginations to make sense of charred barbeques, screaming children, a burning gingerbread house, and even Parke himself vomiting into the infamous Christmas Tree Bucket. Says Parke:

“It was there – while staring into that bright red bucket, vomiting every hour on the hour for fifteen hours straight – that I started to think how strange families, suburbia, life, vomit and in particular, Christmas really was…” from The Christmas Tree Bucket published by Steidl

In 2003, Parke set off on a road-trip around Australia, a monumental journey that was to last two years and cover a distance of over 90,000 km. Minutes to Midnight is the ambitious photographic record of that adventure, which presents a bold but uneasy nation struggling to craft its identity from different cultures and traditions. Minutes to Midnight merges traditional documentary techniques with a more imaginative approach and subjective vision, creating a dark visual narrative that portrays Australia with a mix of nostalgia, romanticism and brooding realism. This is not a record of the physical landscape but of an emotional one. It is a story of human anxiety and intensity; while told through the landscape of Australia, it represents a universal human condition in the world today. Parke says:

“While a picture is simply of what it depicts, it can also be experienced in terms of much larger ideas. I want people to be able to feel they are really part of my trip. That’s all I ever want – that someone is moved.”

Parke’s background in photojournalism remains evident in his ability to imbue fleeting moments of everyday life with a sense of timelessness and drama, without the use of digital manipulation or staging.

We see this in the two series Welcome to Nowhere (2007) and Coming Soon (2005), in which Australia’s unforgiving, harsh sunlight becomes as much the subject of Parke’s images as the characters, landscape and architecture it illuminates or delves into shadow. These series marked a shift for Parke; from working with black and white film to exploring urban and remote scenes through large-scale colour photography, using medium-format film. Parke’s employment of scale, pronounced colour and formal composition, elevate the banal and mundane to become larger-than-life. Writing in 2006, Parke explains;

“When photographing in black and white, I always attempted to deal with the emotion of the time I lived in and in particular within my home country, Australia. Now that I have made the move to colour […] I really want to put together a body of work that looks at the physicality of contemporary Australia.”

In 1999, Parke and his partner Narelle Autio produced The Seventh Wave, after one of Australia’s worst summers for drownings. Through dramatic black and white images, the series conjures the power of the ocean and our relationship to it, capturing swimmers above and below the water. The works convey the mercurial energy of the ocean, which appears murky and menacing at one moment, tranquil and luminous the next. Even in the darkest of images there is an underlying optimism and innocence, as the artists explain in 2002;

“When people look at these images we hope they see the child they once were, unfettered by society’s expectations and demands, full of dreams and empowered by the child’s sense of invincibility.”

This sentiment is captured through a dreamlike quality in the images, which share an air of both document and fantasy. In Parke’s Untitled #6, for instance, the underwater realm becomes an unknown, mythic world; waves appear like clouds, suspending swimmers in a space that is somewhere between sea and sky.

Trent Parke, the first Australian to become a full member of the renowned photographers’ cooperative Magnum Photo Agency, is considered one of the most innovative and challenging photographers of his generation.

Moving beyond traditional documentary photography, Parke sees himself as a storyteller. His images offer an emotional and psychological portrait of Australia that is poetic, dramatic and often darkly humorous.

In 2014 Parke won the inaugural Prudential Eye Award for Photography in Singapore, and in 2013 he won the Olive Cotton Portrait Prize.

Parke has received numerous awards for his work, including five Gold Lenses from the International Olympic Committee, and World Press Photo Awards in 1999, 2000 and 2005, the prestigious W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography for his series Minutes to Midnight in 2003.

Parke self-published his first two books, Dream/Life in 1999, and The Seventh Wave (with Narelle Autio) in 2000. Dream/Life, was awarded second place in the 2000 American Picture of the Year Award for Photography Books.

In 2013, esteembed publisher Steidl is released two hardback publications of Parke’s work, Minutes to Midnight and The Christmas Tree Bucket.

Parke’s work has featured in exhibitions and art fairs across the globe and is held in major institutional collections, including the NGA, MCA, NGV, AGNSW and Artbank.
