Suburbia: the familiar and forgotten. By Warren Kirk

Commended in the Historical Interpretation Award, 2019 Victorian Community History Award.

This award recognises the most outstanding local history projects presented in a unique format.

Warren Kirk’s photos will strike a chord with anyone who’s grown up in the Australian suburbs in the past 50 years. Somehow both achingly familiar and unimaginably strange, these luminous images continue his 30-year project of documenting a way of life that is slowly disappearing along with the people that lived it. Taken with loving attention and considerable skill, and with the utmost respect for the people and places that appear in them, Kirk’s photos of shops and houses, of gardens and lounge rooms, of people surrounded by the things they love, are beautifully evocative and powerfully nostalgic.
