The Presence of Absence: Images of an Institution

Architectural photogrpaher, Peter Liddy, was commissioned to produce a set of photographs of buildings on the UQ Ipswich campus, as part of the campus' celebration of the Centenary. The book produced from the photgraphes documents original buildings and presences at UQ Ipswich.  The oldest buildings date back to the 1870s.

 

The twenty black and white photographs depict the heritage and contemporary buildings of the campus, exploring, through the use of dark and light, the gulf between their past and present use.  The book is a lasting tribute to the University of Queensland's first 100 years and to its commitment to the preservation of a remarkable campus environment.  The Presence of Absence: Images of an Institution is on sale at the Ipswich Art Gallery and also at the Co-op Bookshop.
