Photo files : an Australian photography reader

"Drawn from the pages of Photofile, the photography journal published by the Australian Centre for Photography since 1983, this collection of texts confirms the diversity and quality of recent photographic practice and criticism in Australia. It illustrates how, located between the realms of fine art and visual culture, photography has underpinned many of the key developments in our understanding of both during the last decades of the twentieth century. Drawing together the work of prominent critics, theorists and cultural commentators Photo Files includes profiles of many of Australia's most significant photo-artists and investigates a wide range of subjects including documentary photography, race and representation, photography and national identity, and the impact of digital technologies."--Jacket
