Crime.Photo.Novel - The Power of the Book (2022)

Murder mysteries have always been considered to have a wide appeal, but where did it all start?

Crime.Photo.Novel documents Katrina Whitehead’s journey from her research into seminal books on true crime novels, through the exploration of creative non-fiction writing from authors Edgar Allan Poe and Truman Capote. Exploring the sub-genre of crime photo novels with a focus on the use of photography and collections of ephemera, Katrina unfolds the real from the imaginery, the mystery, the clues, the cultural artefacts which have shaped the stories she has recreated through her own photography and collections of meaningful objects.
