Light, place and presence in the history of Australian photography

摄影是澳大利亚历史和民族认同的核心。它是一个强大的工具，通过它，我们的身份被锻造，通过摄影，我们对我们的地方与我们的环境，彼此和世界的关系的理解是可见的。通过将这项研究建立在光作为摄影中的物理媒介和澳大利亚身份和地方的关键象征的独特地位上，该项目将开发一种新的摄影方法，丰富我们的社会和文化想象力，并将澳大利亚奖学金推向国际议程。

Photography is central to Australian history and national identity. It is a powerful tool through which our identities are forged, and through photography our understanding of our place in relation to our environments, each other and the world are made visible. By grounding this research in the unique status of light as a physical agent in photography and a key symbol of identity and place in Australia, this project will develop a new approach to photography that enriches our social and cultural imagination, and propels Australian scholarship onto the international agenda.
