Northside: A Time and Place

From the photographer behind Westography and Suburbia, with an introduction by Christos Tsiolkas.

From West Brunswick to Reservoir, Fitzroy to Hadfield, Warren Kirk turns his keen eye upon the streets, buildings, and inhabitants of Melbourne’s northern suburbs, which are as iconic as they are rapidly changing. Both a tribute to the things we remember and a reminder to look anew at the world around us, the photos in Northside are a triumph of craft from an artist who invites us to really see.

Warren Kirk has been a documentary photographer for 40 years. His previous books are the acclaimed Westography, Suburbia, and Northside.

Christos Tsiolkas is a multi-award-winning novelist, essayist, screenwriter, and playwright, whose most recent novel, Damascus, won the 2020 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for fiction. He lives and works in Melbourne.
