Synopsis
The first photobook by South Sudanese, Melbourne-based artist Atong Atem and the second in the PHOTO Editions series, ‘Surat’ (which translates from Sudanese Arabic as “snapshots”) is a celebration of the visual language of family photographs and photography as an extension of our oral traditions. Atem revisits her family photo albums, which span decades and continents, restaging and reimagining the scenes and people they depict. The result is a performative depiction of photography, a series of self-portraits that utilises the medium’s implicit repetition of dressing, posing, adjusting, and capturing. For Atem, the book is also about movement, both geographic and historic.

About the book >.>.> Photographs as medium of communication When I began my lifelong career as a journalist more than forty years ago, the first piece of advice my editor gave me was about the importance of photographs, emphasising the point by using the maxim that one photo was worth a thousand words. A news story without photos was regarded as lacking a sense of 'proof' that something had really happened. Two years later, after my colleagues and I were sent for training at a journalism school in Khartoum, photography was one of the subjects we all took. It was both theoretical and practical. It is with this in mind that I write in response to my daughter Atong Atem's work - forty years later and all the way in Australia - which combines family archives with self-portraits as a way of preserving our history. In the early 1980s, I became the head of the department of information for the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM). In that capacity, I was able to capture a photograph that made history in many ways. In June 1984, the rebel movement was g. N° de réf. du vendeur Batch-FM585-LN-12388
