Photofile 91 - The Body & Space

Editor: Ashley Crawford

The Body & Space. Sites where the battle between aspirations for perfection and the battle against decay are ever present. Inevitably, over time, only one prevails.

In the works of collaborators Robert Doble and Simon Strong the bodies that underlay their process are indeed what may be described as 'perfect'. But the sense of transformation they portray is decidedly unwholesome. The results are 'like moving slides under a microscope', says Doble in this issue of Photofile. 'Like watching a disease take over the cellular structure'.

Note from publisher - PHOTOFILE TO BE RE-LAUNCHED

It was announced in 2011 that Body & Space, Edition 91 of Photofile, was to be the last hard cover magazine published.

ACP is pleased to announce that Photofile will again be published in hard cover in 2012 and launched digitally later in the year.

Photofile has always moved with the times. From a photo-community newspaper, to an A4 periodical and ultimately a journal in the Eighties. In the Nineties Photofile began to develop into a more mainstream magazine which, in the last decade, has increased in scale and moved to newsstands.

The Australian Centre for Photography has published Photofile in one form or another for nearly three decades and during this time it has developed responsively to meet the changing needs and expectations of its ever-evolving audience. Photofile is committed to critical writing that is historically and theoretically informed, presented in a stimulating and accessible way.

We look forward to sharing the new Photofile experience with you in the coming years and reaching out nationally and internationally to a much wider community.
