Samenvatting
We cite from the COVER :
"The myth that photographs 'speak for themselves' dies hard. This common misconception about photography often involves elaborate guessing games about what the photographer intended. The spurious diagnosis of these 'intentions' inserts itself between the work and the viewer. It is a mythology shared as much by producers and viewers of photographs as by writers about photography."
"The Critical Distance is a collection of work with photography/politics/ writing produced in Australia during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is interested in how photo-images work, in how they are constructed, looked at, and spoken of, rather than why."
"The contributors are Micky Allan, Jocelyn Clarke, Virginia Coventry, Sandy Edwards, Michael Gallagher, Julian Gibb, Helen Grace, Ponch Hawkes, Martyn Jolly, Peter Lyssiotis, Ruth Maddison, Charles Merewether, Toni Robertson, and Oliver Strewe. The editor, Virginia Coventry, is an artist. She is a Lecturer in Photography, Drawing and New Art Studies at the City Art Institute, Sydney College of Advanced Education."
