The darkroom : photography and the theatre of desire
Marsh, Anne, The darkroom : photography and the theatre of desire, Macmillan, Melbourne 2003 Abstract Anne Marsh’s treatise on the art of photography traces its theoretical underpinning from the early debates between the rationalists and the fantasists, through psychoanalytical interpretations, to the theatre of desire.
