Minutes to Midnight is the haunting record of Trent Parke’s two-year, 90,000 km journey around Australia. Originally commissioned for the W. Eugene Smith Grant, the project captures a nation in a state of unease and identity crisis during the early 21st century. This specific 2005 edition by Filigranes is a slim brochure featuring 20 duotone photographs that blend traditional documentary with a dark, cinematic imagination, portraying Australia as an emotional and apocalyptic landscape rather than just a physical one.
