Look: Contemporary Australian Photography since 1980

Look! represents over 150 artists with more than 400 colour plates. The book represents many years of close research by its author who is recognised for her work in this field, and for several earlier publications including The Darkroom: Photography and the Theatre of Desire published by Macmillan in 2003. A series of scholarly essays accompany the extraordinary array of reproductions which bring to the viewer what must be one of the most comprehensive collections of Australian photographic art ever compiled. With the ever-expanding inclusion of photography and photographic components within the most exciting current trends in contemporary art, this major publication will be essential reading for those who wish to grasp the essence of art now. It also demonstrates the contribution of technologies in the area of photography and related arts. The transformation of possibilities has been rapid and a vital component of the diversity that characterises current art-making
