Scott Perkins – Berlin

Eora/Sydney-based contemporary photographer Scott Perkins distils the natural world into minimalist poetry, producing ultra-refined, abstracted landscapes steeped in moody atmospheres. Shot in remote corners of Australia, New Zealand, Europe and beyond, his brooding forests and sweeping seascapes are pared back to elemental forms: softly gradated horizons, starkly silhouetted escarpments and silvery skies whose hazy, granular shimmer glints like celestial dust. Housed in bespoke, architecturally formed timber frames and softly glowing light boxes, each portal-like piece operates as much like sculpture as photography, drawing the viewer into meditative, ambiguous realms.
On the eve of our announcement of Perkins’s formal representation by Michael Reid Sydney + Berlin – and ahead of his touring solo show Uncertain Truths at Michael Reid Southern Highlands – we sat down with the artist to discuss the ideas and techniques that propel his practice. The conversation unfolded at High Res Digital, where Perkins was working alongside Australia’s pre-eminent fine-art printing specialist, Warren Macris, perfecting two new works that will appear exclusively in the Berrima iteration of Uncertain Truths, expanding on the series that debuted at Michael Reid Sydney in April 2025.
