Trent Parke and Narelle Autio are renowned for both their practice spanning photography and film. Experimenting with light, movement and chemical processes, Parke and Autio make visible phenomena typically hidden from sight. In this conversation, they expand on their photographic trajectories: from years shared under the stars in the Australian outback, to Autio's studies of the undersea world and Parke's most recent work inspired by NASA’s Golden Record.

Narelle Autio is a multi-award-winning photographer whose artistic career spans more than 30 years. In 2002 she became the first Australian to win the international Leica Oskar Barnack Award for her photo series The Coastal Dwellers. Best known for her intense light and saturated colour, Autio’s images capture Australia’s relationship with the environment.

Trent Parke is an Australian photographer who began his career as a photojournalist. The first Australian to become a full member of the renowned Magnum Photographers, Parke’s work shifts between fiction and reality, transcending boundaries of documentary tradition. He has been awarded four World Press Photo awards and received the W Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography in 2003.
