Summary of project:
“A book of four photo-narratives including: The Great Wall of Australia, The Betrayal, The Fall and Three Cheers for Civilisation. Australian Lyssiotis uses his own photographs, photomontage, and writings in this humorous collection of four short stories. “The Great Wall of Australia” tells about a brick wall running across the southeastern part of the country. “The Fall” relates the author’s struggle with his own photography. “Three Cheers for Civilization” shows us what happens when a bird and an airplane collide. “Betrayed” grapples with the relationship between truth, reality, and representation.”
