Tim Coghlan - Hell's Gates II Retribution

Melbourne designer and publisher Tim Coghlan has built his output around the results of both wayward and strategic Google Images searches. Amidst the morass of images that drown the digital present - not to mention the cloud of desensitisation that rises in its wake - some photographs still hold the acute charge and resonance they always did. Filled with lo-res, amateur, and public domain photographs of burning churches found online, including screen captures from TV news broadcasts, this second volume of Coghlan's investigative project continues to pose questions of iconography, typology, and the implications of images.
