Trent Parke: The Crimson Line

Life and death, light and shadow, space and time, memory. These are the themes that have always been at the forefront of Trent Parke’s work. ‘The Crimson Line’ continues to explore these ideas. Cinematic in his vision, Parkes work has always been firmly established in film Noir. From the micro to the macro, science, genetics, factory lines, laboratories and processing plants. Global warming, consumerism and beauty, his landscapes provide a backdrop that frames a dark and foreboding narrative of strange truth and fiction.
