For more than three decades Laurence Aberhart, one of New Zealand’s most important photographers, has been photographing World War One memorials that include a single figure in New Zealand and Australia.
Like all his work, they are shot with an old-fashioned view camera using long exposures and available light.
ANZAC is a major exhibition toured by the Dunedin Public Art Gallery as part of the 2014 WWI commemorations. The exhibition presents more than sixty stunning prints that provide a unique insight into the memorialisation of war, which resonates for audiences both in this country and elsewhere.
