Ever wondered how early photography developed into the prolific and much loved medium it is today? Here’s your chance to find out! Fixated: Photography Through History explores the development of photography and photographic processes from 1839 to the present.

Fixated showcases fantastic examples of early photographic processes from Puke Ariki’s collection, along with contemporary examples of Victorian photographic techniques.

The exhibition includes two remarkable original photolithographs by William Henry Fox Talbot, the inventor of the positive/negative process, generously loaned to Puke Ariki by Auckland War Memorial Museum. New work by sculptor Elizabeth Thomson highlights photography’s influence on other forms of art.

Fixated examines the unique characteristics of a range of photographic processes, including daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, opaltypes, albumen prints, printing-out paper prints, colour and digital photography – learn about the processes that have helped revolutionise our pictorial history.
