The Sea and the Self is an Old Conversation
2023
The Sea and the Self features a Super 8 film of the intertidal zone at Mākara beach, accompanied by a recited poem. Black and white footage has been developed using seaweed, allowing the shoreline to image itself. An additional print displays 4x5” sheet film, previously buried amongst mounds of seaweed, visualising the seashore reacting with the film emulsion and providing a platform for the non-human to express upon. This project was exhibited at Massey University’s graduate show ‘Exposure’ in 2023, and Dunedin Public Art Gallery’s Rear Window Project in 2024.
