Monument — Trent Parke. Published by STANLEY/BARKER.
Monument is the culmination of 20 years of Parke’s Australian photography, a condensation of his visually arresting and technically demanding work on the streets of Sydney and beyond. It’s a book on melancholia, on the sorrow of urban life, on the fate that we are creating for ourselves. It’s outstanding.
