Theme

After two 'unprecedented' years of lockdowns, cancelled plans and global uncertainty, a collective of Auckland-based photographers with diverse photographic practices have found similarities in their artistic vision for this exhibition. They have responded to the outward chaos by shifting their focus closer to home; looking intently at the local, seeing beauty in the everyday. For some it entailed revisiting archives, seeing images anew, and reviving memories of place and identity.

The result is a collection of contemplative images with changed perspective, reflective of the shared and individual experiences.
