Magnum Editions: Man in Mist. Sydney, Australia, 2001.

Trent Parke was twenty years old when he arrived in Sydney from his hometown of Newcastle, New South Wales. Moving from country to big city, his immediate reaction was a sense of loneliness and isolation. Parke decided to channel his emotions into his photography which resulted in Dream/Life, a five-year project documenting the city in a very different way from the typical view of Australia’s most populated city. “I wanted to present a truer version of Sydney — with lots of rain and thunderstorms, and darker qualities that inhabit the city — not the picture-postcard views that the rest of the world sees.”
