Representing over 190 artists, Look is the largest book ever published on Australian contemporary photography. Surveying and recording the significant historical changes to the art of the photographic image and process. The publication analyses the curatorial and critical issues that have contributed to photography over the last 30 years, through a key selection of critical essays accompanied by a timeline detailing important exhibitions and events, and an extensive bibliography.

This glossy publication is grouped together in themes, creating a strong dialogue across identity, life, experiment, space, and environment with sub themes including icon, desire, performance, abstract, inhabitants and land. Artists include, Bill Henson, Julie Rrap, Tracey Moffat, Brook Andrew, Pat Brassington, Anne Ferran, Destiny Deacon, Sue Ford, William Yang, Jane Burton, Petrina Hicks, Simryn Gill, Ray Cook, and more.

The collection of works represents an extensive five years of research and two years of production collated and compiled by one of Australia's most important national academic researchers Professor Anne Marsh.

Recognised for her ongoing work in this field, and for several earlier publications, including, "The Darkroom: Photography" and the "Theatre of Desire" published by Macmillan in 2003. Anne Marsh has undertaken a rigorous curatorial selection process to present both an intellectual and visual examination on the photo aesthetic.

Join us at the QCP to celebrate this great achievement and milestone in Australian photography with the author Anne Marsh and many of the artists.

The launch of the book will be held at the Centre for Contemporary Photography, 404 George Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia on WEDNESDAY 8th DECEMBER at 6.00 pm.  

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.
