Brent Winstone’s Sydney
Brent Winstone’s vision of Sydney is graphic, isolated and controlled. He is a rare architectural photographer who can show both the grandeur and disconnection in made-made environments.
In Winstone’s city, lonely figures are trapped in a grid of hard surfaces and revealed in graphic shafts of light drawn by gaps between buildings. The natural is processed, reflected. Nature is groomed by people. People are groomed by advertising. His city is one where signs glow bright while people walk drained.
Winstone’s patterns are different from what most inhabitants see, yet they resonate with what they experience.
