In-Venue
Kate van der Drift was the 2024 Auckland Council Artist in Residence at Waitawa Regional Park. Dance, dance is site-specific work created during her residency, exploring the entangled social and ecological histories of Waitawa. The work engages with the layered history of colonisation, industry, and environmental restoration. Using cameraless photographic techniques, van der Drift creates alchemical lumen exposures with large format silver gelatine film, plants, herbicide, and sunlight–considering what it means to “take care” of land and waterscapes. The resulting images map marks of human intervention alongside the agency of plants, capturing ongoing processes of transformation, resilience, and hope.
