Seeking the other side of Auckland City through photography and collage.
This project is an insight into the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi demonstrated through photography and collage.The motivation for 'out of sight, out of mind' came from my ongoing love of street photography and the idea championing imperfection within Auckland City. I took photographs of the less celebrated parts of the city and manipulated these images using collage to break the traditional rules of photography.
The final result was a wire-bound publication that showcases each collage. The artworks were printed on a risograph with black ink. The cover, context pages, middle spreads and back cover were separated from the rest of the publication through the use of a deep blue ink, a colour taken from Auckland Transport's brand guidelines. Two forms of media — collage and publication — are combined to create a publication that champions the imperfect nature of our city.
