Scientific Investigation Bureau Archives: 1945-1960
Detectives once produced Crime Scene pictures with a style serving
both the legal and scientific needs of the force and their own
aesthetic interests. More often than not this resulted in intuitive and
artistic work.
Coming just after the descriptive conformities of the mug shot and
before the thorough regulation of forensic science, 1950s crime-
scene images have a special 'speculative' power. These police
photographers entered the Crime Scene, paid attention to its mood
and clues, and then imagined the best way to frame the mysteries in
a picture.
In the Crime Scene exhibition, the imaginative quality of the images
was intensified by the fact that these image-files have been severed
forever from the court-reports and the detectives' notes. Curators
Ross Gibson and Kate Richards said the challenge of these images
is that they can never tell a conclusive story, they can suggest but
they can never prove.
Justice & Police Museum
Unidentified corpse, partly obscured, lying in loading dock, location
unknown, but presumably inner Sydney, late1920s.
Bedroom, with bloodstained bed reflected in dressing table
mirror. Details unknown, late 1930s
Domestic interior, showing kitchen stove, kitchen shelves
and canisters. Details unknown. Late1930s
In the days when these photographs were taken, the details of home
life were not generally discussed in public, rarely written about, and
depicted – if at all – only in the most idealised ways. The front door of
the domestic dwelling presented an almost total barrier between the
public life of the street and the private life of the home. Many of the
photographs show cramped, grimy interiors of rooming houses and
flats. Greasy surfaces, unswept floors, bare walls, and empty bottles
on tables and bedroom dressers all suggest transient, borderline
lives. Other photographs, however, reveal well-kept interiors,
crowded with neatly ordered furniture, bric-a-brac and framed
pictures.
A deceased male wearing striped
pajamas is sprawled on his back
across the entrance stairs of a of a
bricked building.
The forensic photograph is a fragment
scissored from time; a powerful form of
evidence and an official document, but one
that is authored by an individual and
therefore marked by a personal vision.
Every crime scene photograph is also a
form of intrusion on private pain, justified
because the detective will use it later to
arrive at the truth of what happened.
