Michael Garbutt – Far Kurnell

A photographic monograph by Michael Garbutt examining the southern-Sydney suburb of Kurnell, the site of first contact between indigenous Australians and British colonisers. The ensuing 250 years have resulted in a complete desecration of the culture and environment of the region, resulting in an eerily-silent, dead husk of a landscape documented through 36 photographs featured in this book. The foiled softcover uses paper stock that mimics the textures of the sandstone rock platforms that encircle Kurnell.

64 pages, 17.5 x 25 cm, softcover, self-published (Sydney).
