Nuit De La Photo - Aotea Square
On the big screen at Auckland Live Digital Stage in Aotea Square - Auckland Festival of Photography presents this exclusive - Artists Aline Henchoz (Switzerland), Guillaume Bression (France), Carlos Ayesta (Venezuela) and Neringa Rekasiute (Lithuania) come together as Nuit de la Photo to present images from four bodies of work that draw on documentary and staged practices. The works deal with themes of identity, natural and human-made environments and these intertwined relationships.
Since the tsunami and the nuclear catastrophe of March 2011, Carlos Ayesta and Guillaume Bression have made regular visits to the region of Fukushima, Japan, and especially to the “no man’s land” around the stricken power station.
The fruit of their numerous visits is six series of strongly aesthetic photographs which mix posed situations with a documentary approach.
Friday 14th to Sunday 16th June, daily screenings at 1030am, 1pm, 5pm and 8pm. Duration - 20 minutes. FREE. Please keep warm and wear winter attire, check weather before heading out.
