Kooka(Borough), Neill G. Overton Dr Mar 2014

Kooka(Borough), Neill G. Overton Dr

Landscapes: the Journal of the International Centre for Landscape and Language

The Kookaburra as iconic Australian bird is represented in this photo-series exploring photomention principles, of photographing the "decisive moment" but rather than documenting it fully, applying documention theory of "glancing" or incorporating in passing through. This follows on in the vein of Group f/64 who through the lowest f stop sought to achieve detail and specificity that was beyond realist painting's capabilities. Of which, Henri Cartier-Bresson wrote: “In photography, there is a new kind of plasticity, the product of instantaneous lines made by movements of the subject. We work in unison with movement as though it were a presentiment of …


Speculative Landscapes: Regionalism And Rurality, Christopher Matthew Orchard Mr Mar 2014

Speculative Landscapes: Regionalism And Rurality, Christopher Matthew Orchard Mr

Landscapes: the Journal of the International Centre for Landscape and Language

This work investigates the continued speculative practice of rural localities in regional New South Wales. It is a document of nowhere and everywhere simultaneously. As the ubiquitous grain tower rises as if to signal life within the community remains healthy. It is both a landmark to speculative living and monument to severe cultural depression. This is a contribution to the Australian Vernacular, a landscape about the any-man, from any where. It is as much about a collected Australian culture as it is about white familiarity and home-life, particularly frontiersmanship.


Grassy Landscapes And The Australian Representational Imaginary: The Ongoing Tale Of South Australia’S ‘Diesel And Dust’ House Mar 2014

Grassy Landscapes And The Australian Representational Imaginary: The Ongoing Tale Of South Australia’S ‘Diesel And Dust’ House

Landscapes: the Journal of the International Centre for Landscape and Language

One abandoned farmhouse amongst many, set in what has been called a ruined, or at least severely underappreciated, part of the (South) Australian landscape. Yet in spite this, a place that became the subject of one of Australia’s most recognised landscape photographs. An image taken by a prominent professional photographer, emblazoned on the cover of one of the country’s highest selling rock albums, subsequently utilised in all sorts of promotional and tourist material, and finally adopted by a socially networked general public exploring new meanings of place and performativity in ‘augmented reality’. How does the ‘Diesel and Dust house’ fit …


Memory, Truth And Justice: A Contextualisation Of The Uses Of Photographs Of The Victims Of State Terrorism In Argentina, 1972-2012: Communicating An Intersection Of Art, Politics And History, Richard Askam Jan 2014

Memory, Truth And Justice: A Contextualisation Of The Uses Of Photographs Of The Victims Of State Terrorism In Argentina, 1972-2012: Communicating An Intersection Of Art, Politics And History, Richard Askam

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Photographs of the victims of Argentine state terrorism from 1972 to 1983, and most prominently those of the detained-disappeared victims of the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional dictatorship (1976-1983), have had a significant role in elucidating the demands of human rights activists since the aftermath of the Trelew Massacre in 1972. In this thesis I examine the role of photographs of victims of state terrorism in the construction of unofficial, or counter, narratives critical of those produced by two dictatorships and by elected democratic administrations in the demand for truth and justice, and in the construction of social memory. I discuss …


Cultures Of Practice Within Design: An Exploration Of The Differences And Similarities Between Photography And Painting As Representational Practices, Alun John Price Jan 2014

Cultures Of Practice Within Design: An Exploration Of The Differences And Similarities Between Photography And Painting As Representational Practices, Alun John Price

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Contemporary designers and photographers face many challenges as the profession rapidly develops. This is especially the case in in the Western Australian context. A review into the recent history of the Western Australian design profession is evidence that designers and photographers are consistently shifting between commercial and self-expressive practice. However, the urge to keep up with technological advancement has masked conscious development of this shift, which is a key to self-realisation and improvement for a designer and photographer. This lack of conscious questioning limits holistic development in design practice. This research reflects on myself as a designer developing a response …

Everywhere And Nowhere, Liana Christensen Feb 2013

Everywhere And Nowhere, Liana Christensen

Landscapes: the Journal of the International Centre for Landscape and Language

In 1788 Europeans arrived here to stay. Since then, between eighteen and twenty mammal species have been lost, depending on who‘s counting. Gone, too, are the Paradise Parrot and the Dwarf Emu. Alarmingly high numbers of animal (and plant) species hover just this side of oblivion. Not infrequently in Australia‘s natural history the first sighting of an animal by a colonial collector is followed fairly swiftly by a long disappearance. Very few come back. For the most part, expanding populations of exotic predators and feral competitors, combined with shrinking islands of natural habitats mean that the average Australian has few …

Wild 1 - The North, Andrew Taylor Feb 2013

Wild 1 - The North, Andrew Taylor

Landscapes: the Journal of the International Centre for Landscape and Language

Three students from Kenyon University in the United States participated in this unit. There were three main objectives. The first was to enable a reading of Western Australian writing in its relationship to the landscape - physical, social, and historical. The second was to locate Western Australian writing within the post-colonial perspective of Australian writing. The third was to formulate an appropriate theoretical framework for this. The central activity was a ten journey through the mid-west of western Australia. This intense experience was the equivalent of a whole semester's single unit workload.


Photography And The Paradigm Of The Trace, Daniel Nevin Jan 2013

Photography And The Paradigm Of The Trace, Daniel Nevin

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

The idea that photographs can be explained as traces made by the things they depict has been a recurring paradigm in theories about the nature of the photographic medium. Walter Benjamin, Charles Sanders Peirce, Susan Sontag, Andre Bazin and Roland Barthes are a few of the many theorists who have used the paradigm of the trace to explain the nature of photographs. The paradigm can also be argued to have been a significant influence in the work of prominent artists such as Gerhard Richter, Adam Fuss and Cornelia Parker whose work has explored the photographic medium. Through an exegesis and …
