Festival Theme –

Unseen "A shroud is spread out upon the earth, and people do not see it. Imaginary and concrete worlds are seen and unseen in the blink of an eye. Light of itself is unseen, apparent only indirectly through what it interacts with, making it a potent metaphor for the unknown that pervades and shapes the world as we know it. We are born into the unknown as the unknown is born into us.

Photography is the collective story of the unseen, one that is written so we may imagine other possibilities. In darker times, expressions of solidarity and joy can be a profound activity, and hopefully a revelation of a hidden common language."

Werner Bischof USA Series (1953/1954) 23 May – 21 June Auckland Festival of Photography is excited to present an exclusive outdoor waterfront exhibition of work by Werner Bischof, Switzerland.

Werner started his career in his studio in Zurich, Switzerland, where he perfected his artistic photography in “painting with light and shadow”. In 1945 he creates maybe the most significant photographic documentation of Europe in the aftermath of WWII. In 1949 he joins Magnum Photos and travels two years in Asia: India, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Indochina where he continues his humanistic photography, combining form and content. [some text courtesy of the British Journal of Photography]. His untimely death in a car accident in Peru at age 38 was the catalyst to maintain his photography in an archive for future generations. USA is a series of work that brings early 1950s America vividly to life, yet Bischof’s tragic death at 38 meant the photographs were never printed during his lifetime. This is the first time they are being shown to the public in New Zealand. Bischof was the first non-founding member to be

welcomed into the then-fledgling Magnum collective, in 1949 joining Robert Capa, David Seymour, Henri Cartier-Bresson and George Rodger. He had already become recognised for his pioneering use of colour photography, and was one of the first documentary photographers to take the format seriously. At the time of joining Magnum, most of Bischof’s contemporaries still predominantly worked in monochrome, a trend that continued well into the 1960s. The photographs serve as a fleeting snapshot of a unique point in history: Bischof arrived in post-war United States from Switzerland in 1953, and stayed there for just one year, chronicling a booming and optimistic America through the eyes of an outsider. The 25 photographs that make up the series comprise few suggestions of interaction, they are instead stolen moments through shop windows and cars that blur past, evoking anonymity, and a contemplative look at everyday life in America during a period of immense change (some text courtesy of the British Journal of Photography).

The Bat; Enid, connected to Earth by zodiacal light– spider-strings in the old language, the umbilicus of Country Lumachrome glass print, chemigram, cliché-verre. Deceased microbat on fibre paper. Exposed 26 hours under marked perspex.

Judith Nangala Crispin (Aus) The Dingo's Noctuary 27 May –15 June Auckland Festival of Photography is proud to present 'The Dingos Noctuary'

by Australian photographer, Judith Nangala Crispin.

She is a Canberra-based poet and visual artist, with an background in music. Judith describes her work 'These works are made with a technique I’m calling Lumachrome glass printing– combining lumen printing, chemigram and cliché-verre. I began working this way while searching for my family’s lost Aboriginal ancestry. These cameraless techniques respond to ideas taught to me

by Warlpiri painters in the Tanami desert.

They spoke to me of kurruwari, patterns in the landscape. Allowing nature to mark a canvas before painting, with dirt or tracks, an artist collaborates with Country. These Lumachromes are my response to kurruwari.

Images on the page are generated, literally, from light, earth and flesh. Lumachromes are created by arranging blood, clay, sticks, leaves, seeds, ochres, etc., with deceased

animals or birds, on photographic fibre paper.

Exposed 24-40 hours outdoors, while the sun arches east to west, colour is produced in the silver halide crystals. Before placing the cadavers or plants, I paint them with compounds like selenium or copper chloride to capture fine detail. Cliché-verre plates are coated with resists of wax or paint, or with seeds and dirt, then suspended above the print to create backgrounds. Every hour, blood, condensation and other fluids are brushed in with a paintbrush. Ultimately colour and form are manifested in these works, from light alone – not paint or a lens, or anything that can be controlled.

These works are deeply rooted in the idea of a shared language with Country – not an inherited language, gained through tribes, not something theorised by scholars, but a genuine connection between an individual and the ground they walk." photographyfestival.org.nz for more details.

Gail Stent and Judy Stokes

Two Auckland Fine Art photographers Judy Stokes and Gail Stent explore the concept of what lies hidden beneath the fibres of life. The range of work presented will include Multiple In-Camera exposure work, Collaborative works by this creative duo as well as recent works by both artists.

Kate Rampling, 'Decalcomania #1' 2020

The Unseen pertains to an ethereal realm that exists beneath a shroud of ambiguity and mystery. The work of obscure painter, writer and occultist Ithell Colquhoun embodies this concept through her preoccupation with the female body in connection to landscape, as well as the communication of divine wisdom through her art practice.

This series explores the idea of tension between public and private worlds, through an observational lens. Worlds where viewers and performers choose to present themselves veiled with costume or make up or caught in moments unaware. Though disguised as something other than themselves William captures her subjects in moments which reveal something intimately personal.

Hayley Theyers, Mary Macgregor-Reid and Kate Rampling seek to commemorate Colquhoun, a female artist who has much insight left to impart on contemporary audiences. Communicating Vessels reiterates the role of the artist as a communicator of ideas whilst demonstrating the connective power of art through time.

Camille Sanson, The Mother Roberta Thornley

"Mum is waiting to get an angioplasty procedure. I picture a tiny balloon filling her arteries. I imagine the surgeon sitting bent over with pursed lips, trying to blow it up. Have you ever tried blowing up a water balloon? They are small and difficult and your lungs feel like they will burst and your cheeks turn to stone before you can finish.

Whose breath will be in my mother's veins?"

‘My Head On Your Heart’ is a suite of new works by Roberta Thornley exploring the tension between narrative time and the photographic image.

ABSOLUTION is a solo exhibition by Camille Sanson reflecting her personal journey into motherhood. Through their making and narrative progression, the photographic series explores the depths of the shadow and play between dark and light. Similar to the process of developing black and white photographs in a dark room, and metaphorical relation to conception and birth, the images transition from darkness and emerge with renewed existence in light. Camille Sanson is a New Zealand photographer based in London. She founded a successful photography studio in East London, and for the past 12 years she has worked across fashion, portraiture and still life photography.

Dramatic and extraordinary landscapes from around the world by three-times Auckland Photographer of the Year, Ilan Wittenberg.

In this series of wide-format prints, Wittenberg explores the timeless nature of unique locations using sepia tone, which emulates analogue lithographic techniques.

Wittenberg’s compelling monochromatic style creates strong images which inspire the imagination and provoke conscious consideration. Through this portfolio of striking photographs, Ilan presents his artistic perspective of the world using a clear narrative style. These images of beautiful scenery evoke a desire to visit foreign places and to experience their distinct atmosphere.

'droplet' – a photobook and video installation

by Sheryl Campbell.

The Water Sustains Us developed out of a collaborative project between photography students from Whitecliffe in Auckland and Nottingham College in the UK. Structured as a long-form, long-distance collaborative workshop, this project has offered students from both Colleges the opportunity to test the reception and impact of their work through exposure to an audience far removed from the cultural context that they are used to.

This means they need to question all their assumptions about how their work may be read, and also encourages them to look for connections and dialogue, in a truly global sense, through images.

"I work on contemporary issues involving problematic sexuality in New Zealand, and make photographs that question harmful sexual behaviours. droplet examines a case that came to light in February 2018 when several students, who were on internships at a top law firm, reported having been sexually assaulted by senior partners. NZ’s boardrooms are top heavy with men in positions of authority; although half of our law graduates are women, many leave the legal profession citing a culture of male entitlement and abuse of power. droplet re-imagines scenes and repercussions from this appalling event, which NZ’s media sighted as our first official #MeToo moment."

Jeanne Taris Gestes Gitans Perpignan

The Female Eye

27 May – 4 June

29 May – 6 June drugs have ravaged the young people. The evangelical churches, as active as they are conservative, try to guide inhabitants of the locality. In Saint Jacques few people work due to intergenerational low socio economics and a lack of opportunities. Since 2016, Jeanne has made regular visits to the St. Jacques district – meeting people from the neighbourhood, sharing meals, and accompanying them as they go about their everyday lives.

Jeanne Taris, GESTES GITANS (c)

Auckland Festival of Photography is pleased to present the work of award winning photojournalist, Jeanne Taris (France).

There are six or maybe seven thousand Gitans living in the Saint-Jacques district in the historic heart of Perpignan. In this network of little streets and lanes, the houses are dilapidated, sometimes insanitary; the children are outside until late at night, few go to school. The women, sitting on folding chairs on their doorsteps, watch them play; the men, often absent, take a siesta or hang around in the local squares. For years,

offbeat fairytales These images draw from two series – ‘my backyard theatre’ and ‘white lies’.

This body of work disturbs the everyday reality – that allows for an escape from reality into the playful but eerie world of the fairytale.

The characters bring an incongruous theatre to the landscape, yet they are defiant and stand their ground. The masks allow the actors to see but not be seen – a costume that allows one to look out but keeps the world from looking in.

Hormoz

A collaboration by artists/ photographers Denise Batchelor and Heather Randerson

“Ajutila” Hormoz is a French photographer and director. His major works have been shown in many magazines, festivals, and galleries. He mainly explores surrealistic, nightclubbing and social issues.

Timatanga o te Whenua tu ora II The project kaupapa is an artistic exploration of the environmental challenges currently facing our communities. The project raises urgent ecological questions. How do we care for the Ngahere, waters, and dunes in our local environment, whilst being mindful of the global challenges?

“Ajutila”: Cindy meets photographer Hormoz at his exhibition “Je vis” (“I realize”), a project conceived with Dal, a disabled person. Cindy is of Malian origin, Muslim culture and born disabled. She wants to tell her personal story.

Cindy and Hormoz imagine a photographic series in which Cindy seeks to dedramatize the image of sexuality linked to disability and African cultures.

Seven days in Afghanistan

Rochelle travelled solo to Afghanistan last year. Even though she only scratched the surface, she found the war confronting, the landscape breathtaking, and the people warm. While travelling around the country, she talked to people on roadsides, drank tea in people’s homes, spent time in workplaces and got invited to a wedding. Locals would talk about their daily lives but also about life before the war. Rochelle’s photos present a small snapshot of the continuum of everyday life in Afghanistan.

Auckland Festival of Photography presents three short films by New Zealand photographers, multimedia artists and filmmakers.

Alex Plumb (NZ) Elena

Shoufay Derz, Chrysalis

Alex Plumb, Elena (Moving Image still)

Shoufay Derz (Australia) Collective Shroud Shoufay Derz shares the work “Collective Shroud” where The Great Barrier Reef was presumed dead and an assembly of ritual participants were given the chance to imagine returning to its once living biosphere to pay respects through the creation of its memorial.

Alex Plumb's 'Elena' is a moving image work.

"Elena explores notions of faith and desire within a domestic everyday. The work depicts an immigrant Latin American family in a continual struggle between the real and the imaginary, the self and the other, to explore the relationship between what we desire and who we are."

Saynab Muse (NZ)

Through a succession of collective rituals this work speculated on the role of poetic potentialities in the fate of the Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living organism on the planet.

Unseen Saynab Muse's work focuses on the Muslim community she belongs to, and is a short film which fits the 'Unseen' theme, exploring traditional clothing of Somalian Muslims and how their dress is a safety net of their beliefs.

Cali Kurlan (USA) At The Edge of The Universe New York based Cali Kurlan says of his work “My intention is to channel new modes of communication through hybrid photography to create images that are seemingly unrecognizable, but in their very nature, direct. I arrive at the photograph through several steps from the film negative, to enlarging the print on lightsensitive paper, to re-photographing or scanning the image, to ‘screen-shooting’ the image on the screen, to Photoshop manipulation…”

22 | Digital Screens Projections

“The revival of the analog photo can’t be reduced to impressionistic, pictorial rebellion against the digital academism. Not only in photographic technology but also in associative related topics – Freudian and left-social conflicts – we can find the opportunity of seeing something natural, cathartic, showing itself through the usual rational shape of the frame with its composition, and social order. Barely visible manipulation with natural grain structure is like genetic engineering, and the enlarged image generated by using almost biological, infectious lith-development makes the frame resembling the eyepiece of the microscope.”

Werner Bischof (Switzerland) Unterwegs |

Zoom in 31 May 1–3pm

Auckland Festival of Photography presents a film about the Swiss Magnum photographer Werner Bischof by René Baumann and Marco Bischof (Switzerland 1987 50mins).

Werner Bischof's photo reports about hunger in India and the wars in Korea and Indochina garnered fame around the world. Examples from this work and film recordings from newsreels provide the footage of UNTERWEGS, letter excerpts and diary notes from Bichof's comment. The impressive documentary, which is deliberately limited to the three major reports in the Far East, very clearly follows Werner Bischof's development as a photojournalist and shows his extremely critical relationship to photographic work for the 'big press'. wernerbischof.com/work/portfolio

Beyond the Index | 3 – 19 June Photography’s analogous relationship to its subject holds even for digital photography.

However when it comes to creating meaning that might resemble truth telling, its indexical status is no guarantee. These photographers work with the medium's inevitable subjectivity while also embracing its documentary characteristics. Curated by Allan McDonald.

Victorian Auckland – Above and Beyond | 28 May – 30 June From the starting point of John Kinder’s atmospheric 1856 engraving of Auckland from above, and an imagined balloon flight in 1885, we follow through on a Victorian flight of imagination. With early watercolours painted from photographs, through rare postcard views of early twentieth century Auckland to present day images we take an elevated view of our city from sweeping perspectives.
