Biography

Marcus Bunyan has lectured in fine art photography and internet applications and works for the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne. His artistic and research practice investigates the boundaries between identity, space and environment. His doctoral thesis at RMIT University investigated the link between self-esteem and body image and traced the development of the male body image within photographic practice and gym culture. The thesis has been adapted into a website that includes research on photographs held at The Kinsey Institute and The Minor White Archive. After completing his doctorate he was made Research Fellow in The Department of Information Systems at The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia, investigating how strong tie relations are using ICTs (information and communications technologies) to support mediated intimacy.
