Trent Parke is one of the most innovative photographers of his generation. He is known for his poetic, often darkly humorous photography that offers an emotional and psychological portrait of his home country of Australia – from the southern outback to its busy beaches. Pictured here is a drive-in cinema in Coober Pedy, a town in the south of the country known for its opals. Drive-ins have long been immortalised in US pop culture and referenced in songs and movies. They became popular in Australia too, reaching their peak in the ‘50s and ‘60s.
