Summary

Westography is the name Warren Kirk gives to his photographs of Melbourne's western suburbs; but they transcend postcodes. The mysterious world they capture -- poignant remnants half-forgotten yet strangely familiar -- could be found in any large Australian city whose suburbs have been gentrified in the last thirty years. They are photos of a past that still exists, out on the edge of the everyday
