INTERVIEWS
The Distance that Cannot be Photographed
At the female convict sites I used to wonder where the history has gone. The answer I ended up with was twofold – it’s either disappeared into the ground or vanished into the air.
Geoffrey Batchen interviews Anne Ferran
Past, Present and Illusion in Hamish Tocher’s Photography
There’s a visceral narcissism in the early Renaissance, a kind of youthful full-of-the-joys-of vigour, a really sexy peachy sense of bodies, that is what clicks so nicely with the fashion images that I’ve been comparing it with.
Naomi Cass interviews Hamish Tocher
REVIEWS

Ellis and Gursky are akin to two different types of popularist art fantasies: the former as charming, nostalgic; the latter as challenging, spectacular.
reviewed by Peter Shand
