Balinese Architecture: Towards an Encyclopaedia Volume I
AU$300.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMade Wijaya
[Sanur]: Fotokopi, 1984.This book grew out of a report by students of the University of Sydney during a holiday design programme in Bali to which Wijaya was the tutor. “Most of the photographs were taken over the six months April – October, 1984. The selection is comprehensive in that it covers the full spectrum of Balinese Architecture — mountain to coastal, north to south, palatial to makeshift.” (from preface) Made Wijaya (born in Sydney as Michael White, 1953-2016) was a landscape architect who left Sydney for Bali as a break from architectural studies at University of Sydney and stayed, immersing himself in the Balinese culture, consorting with royalty, and in 1975 was renamed Made Wijaya by a priest in a Hindu temple ceremony. Photocopied pages (as issued), this copy with 3 original colour photographs pasted in (copies are known to have differing numbers of added photographs). One of 50 numbered and signed copies, this copy further inscribed by Wijaya to the title page.

Nature Boy
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartBrad Rimmer
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2019.“Nature Boy is a sequel to Australian photographer Brad Rimmer’s monograph Silence (2009). Probing at the essence of rural Australia and the emotional impact of the natural landscape upon individual psyches. Rimmer this time adds stories to the compendium. The raw, yet poetic narratives conjure the late adolescent years of a lad wrestling with whether to stay or leave his remote country homeland for the lure of the city and so much more. A coming-of-age account, the elegant mix of observation and heartfelt reminiscence are almost autobiographical, and hint to the nascent sensibilities of the young Rimmer as an artist.” (publisher’s blurb)

Rage Against The Light
AU$60.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMarkus Andersen
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2015.“Markus Andersen’s photographs feature the city of Sydney as an abstracted backdrop for a fragile human presence, one dwarfed by overwhelming architectural development and consumerism. In these moody black-and-white images, people scurry about and are literally exposed by light. Struck by shafts of illumination between buildings, they are like insects coming out for food.” (publisher’s blurb)

No Worries
AU$80.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMartin Parr
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2011.“In 2011 Magnum photographer Martin Parr set out to photograph three Western Australian port cities, Fremantle, Port Hedland and Broome. Each town was a unique setting for a photographer famed for his images of British seaside culture in the publication Last Resort. Using his unmistakably intimate and satirical style, Parr went about photographing Australian cliches, full of saturated colours and flash photography. The resulting photographs, published here for the first time, are an invaluable collection from this world-renowned British photographer.” (publisher’s blurb)

Monte Cassino (Con Amore)
AU$20.00 Read MoreAdd to cartSteven Nestor
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2019.“Monte Cassino: Con Amore is an exploration by Steven Nestor of the destruction of a small Italian town Monte Cassino and its monastery in the Second World War. Surviving copies of The Illustrated London News from 1944 lead Nestor on a journey to discover and record the last remaining traces of the devastation of the town and the Benedictine monastery built on the site of the original Abbey chosen and founded by St Benedict in the 6th century. Blending original material from his research archive alongside his own images, Nestor encourages the viewer to cross into an elusive but violent past. The photographic windows throughout this book look out onto a buried past that continues to inform and shape our present through the fragments that have survived destruction, the passage of time and a human quest to overcome disaster. This is a journey across unremarkable contemporary places and into their dark history: forlorn graffiti semaphores in a space once littered with casualties of battle, a collapsed street sign lies unnoticed on the edge of town and autumnÂ’s mulch burns on the road that snakes its way up to the summit of worship and war.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy signed by Nestor on the title page.

AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartSiegfried Manietta
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2011.“The book covers 30 years of consistent landscape / environmental photography. My work attempts to transcend the standard collectible tourist photograph, looking instead at documenting underlying structures and qualities, choosing the vernacular, carefully designed and imaged in sympathetic light. I believe it represents a more subtle way of seeing, understanding and appreciating our environment. The images are in 3 chapters (+ epilogue) each representing a particular approach to the environment.” (publisher’s blurb)
