Trent Mitchell
Australian Lustre
Hillvale presents Australian Lustre by photographer Trent Mitchell; a collection of vibrant landscapes and sunburnt vignettes, drawn from a 15-year photographic journey across Australia. Drawing links with the idyllic holidays of his childhood, contemplating the notions of time and memory, and exploring where we belong in this, at times, strange place we call home. Building on the success of his stellar 320-page photobook Australian Lustre first published in 2024, now in it’s second edition (2025), Mitchell’s photographs are both playful and contemplative and invite the viewer’s to reflect on evolving realities and layered contradictions of the contemporary Australian landscape.
