A call for help!
Dear friends of Art Blart. A call for help! Just putting this out there in the ether... I am looking for a research fellowship or postdoc work in photography anywhere in the world. I have been writing Art Blart now for 10 years… a lot of research and writing for this cultural memory archive, perhaps used as the basis for a book on the spirit of photography in the 21st century. But I am open to any research project. If you have any ideas please let me know at bunyanth@netspace.net.au.

Text: Marcus Bunyan. ‘Death and the image’ 2018Art Blart _ art and cultural memory archive
Text: Marcus Bunyan. 'Death and the image' 2018. "This text investigates how the act of photography visually writes trauma. Through an analysis of the context of images of death by artists such as Alphonse Bertillon, Weegee, Robert Capa, Alexander Gardner, and Walker Evans the paper ponders how the camera captures human beings ante-mortem, at the death point, post-mortem and vita ad mortem." 8,137 words Photo: Chloe Dewe Mathews.
