T Australia’s seventeenth issue celebrates Journeys: from the sensory to the political to the more typical globetrotting variety. What we’ve found, amid the dazzling medley of contributions that came back, is that no matter what form they take, our most memorable journeys are often the ones that take us to new, or long-forgotten, parts of ourselves.
Our cover story (page 62), written by Emma Pegrum, profiles one of the Australia’s most formidable creative exports, the award-winning television, film and theatre star Sarah Snook. Photographed by Eric Michael Roy. and styled by Chloe Beene, the interview (“Playing Paradox”, page 62) delves into her journey — or should we say journeys — preparing to play no less than 26 roles in Sydney Theatre Company’s West End debut of its adaptation of “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. “Playing other people brings you closer to yourself,” says Snook.
Elsewhere in the issue, Victoria Pearson writes about the hiking wear,
performance sneakers and technical fabrics is about tackling — and protecting ourselves from — the great outdoors (page 76). Tony Davis interviews the Monaco’s leader, Prince Albert II (and uncovers his special connection with Australia (page 72). The writer Luke Benedictus contemplates the innate eroticism of hotel rooms in “Suite Loving” (page 24). We explore Rio de Janeiro’s new wave of pared-back, nature-focused architecture in “Above It All” (page 40) and in “A Lick of the Past” (page 56) and “Short and Sweet” (page 32), we examine the nostalgic food trends that are transporting our tastebuds to simpler — but no less delicious — times.
