In the margins between the city and the bush, Warren Kirk uncovers the quiet poetry of Victoria's hinterlands.

These richly textured photographs capture the overlooked buildings, people, and landscapes of rural and semi-rural Australia. Meticulously observed and rendered with enormous sensitivity, this collection is more than a photographic journey - it's an elegiac meditation on place, people, and memory. Kirk continues his remarkable project of preserving vanishing Australian scenes, inviting viewers to witness the extraordinary within the seemingly mundane.

'Beyond Suburbia features a mix of people and places but the pictures Kirk takes of people are no standard headshots ... He also prefers not to provide information about his shots, apart from the location, saying the image itself is enough. In this age of over-sharing, there's an inherent mystery to his pictures that inspire your imagination ... While traditionally known for suburban vistas and the rapidly changing landscape of our inner city, Kirk is clearly inspired by getting out of his own environment.' -Kerrie O'Brien, The Sydney Morning Herald

'Warren Kirk observes life, buildings and landscapes in Victoria's hinterlands. His work is a meditation on people, place and memory, preserving these vanishing scenes in the towns between the city and the bush.' -The Guardian
