Opening on 1 October 2021, Michael Reid Berlin is delighted to present renowned Australian photgrapher Trent Parke’s series The Crimson Line.
About
The Crimson Line series is a meditation on the impact of hard industry on the visual environment, using the fleeting colours of twilight to irradiate an overlooked, unappealing and often-ignored world. Soaring plumes of steam are illuminated in gradient as they catch the rising and setting sun; industrial complexes, fire-lit and skeletal, are silhouetted against the vivid landscapes beyond.
First exhibited in 2019 and immortalised in the 2020 book of the same name, Trent Parke presents a tonal progression from one image to the next. Mirroring this, Michael Reid Berlin has selected 20 works that encapsulate the series, and presented them in Parke’s intended order, contiguously spanning our gallery.
