Beautiful Lies is a collection of satirical photo media projects by Australian artist Peter Milne.
The images in this book create allegorical, visual narratives out of the strangely rich and conflicted history of a young nation still struggling to understand itself.
The individual projects employ a wide range of visual languages, formal elements and subject matters but they all share a central concern with the possibilities for reinterpretation of historical narrative through visual allegory.
The key theme in the work is the human dynamics involved in the pursuit of power, particularly the tension between utopian idealism and the corrupting disillusionment that inevitably accompanies any successful attainment of authority.
Beautiful Lies is intended to be a series of cautionary tales - more emotional than evidentiary. Like the actual historical events it interprets, it is comically improbable (and perhaps just a little sad).

Joachim Froese: photographs 1999–2008
- Title: Joachim Froese - Photographs 1999–2008
- Publication information: 100 pages, 65 colour plates, 25x35cm/9.8x13.8in. Hardback (English/German).
- Price: $55 AUD +postage
- ISBN: 978-0-9757720-5-8
Joachim Froese photographs 1999–2008 is the first monograph of Froese’s work, presenting five of his still-life photographic series. This 100-page hardcover bilingual (English/German) book contains essays by Timothy Morrell, Andrea Domesle and a conversation between Ian Friend and the artist, and a foreword by Gordon Craig.
Over the last 10 years Froese’s work has concentrated on the photographic still life and he has developed a unique way to create photographic tableaux. These laboriously assembled constructs are inspired by art history as well as his personal story of migration. They seemingly defy reality and question the inherent nature of the photographic image as a reflection of the real.
