The dedication of ‘°SOUTH’ is to record ‘evidence’ in a fair, truthful and informative way, following on the great Australian tradition of Frank Hurley, Hubert Wilkins, George Silk, Max Dupain and Damien Parer. Wars are complex situations that defy easy answers. With the courage of a soldier and the eye of a witness these photographers have created images of power and compassion that can influence public opinion, have historical significance and even reawaken a sense of responsibi...
