| Summary: | Melbourne designer and publisher Tim Coghlan has built his output around the results of both wayward and strategic Google Images searches. His latest and most extensive book to date, Hell's Gates (co-published by Coghlan's own imprint Knowledge Editions and Perimeter Editions) is a vastly expanded reprise of a small-run zine he published in the early 2010s. Comprising lo-res, amateur and public domain photographs of burning churches found online, the book poses questions of iconography, typology and the implications of images. How does mythology affect the way we read images and make meaning, why are some images deemed impossibly offensive and others not and just where are the limits of the democracy of images? |
