Presents Trent Parke's "Minutes To Midnight". His very own road trip, physical and metaphysical at the same time. "In 2003, Trent Parke began a road trip around his native Australia, a monumental journey that was to last two years and cover a distance of over 90000 kilometers. Presents a proud but uneasy nation struggling to craft its identity from different cultures and traditions. Merges traditional documentary techniques and imagination to create a dark visual narrative portraying Australia with a mix of nostalgia, romanticism, and brooding realism. It is a story of human anxiety and intensity which, although told from Australia, represents a universal human condition" (Publisher's blurb). Together with Bill Henson (another ambitious artist/photographer), he has put Australia on the map as a vital center of art photography, that is to say, of the most serious and ambitious contemporary art itself, which has become more, not less, photographically-based. An absolute "must-have" title for Trent Parke collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws yet command as much as $500 because the 2013 true First Edition is now scarce. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white plates. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy.
