Minutes to Midnight is the result of Trent Parke’s epic 90,000 km journey across the Australian continent. This Steidl edition presents the full cinematic narrative of a nation in a state of existential unease. Through high-contrast black-and-white photography, Parke captures an apocalyptic and surreal landscape where the harsh Australian light strips away the mundane to reveal a darker, more emotional reality. The work serves as both a documentary of a changing country and a deeply personal psychological journey, cementing Parke’s reputation as one of the most visionary photographers of his generation.
