The title of this exhibition refers to Marti Friedlander's seminal photographic book 'Larks in a Paradise' (1974, Collins), in which she, as an immigrant to New Zealand, and the writer James McNeish, exposed some of the inner contradictions of our society.
This exhibition juxtaposes the tragedy of sudden death with the lush beauty of the surroundings in which these deaths have occurred. It questions the seemingly benign social and environmental conditions we take for granted and points to a dis-ease that has affected most New Zealanders; a condition which remains largely under-reported and unexplained.
John Malcolm will give a floor talk for this show, on Sunday June 20th at 2pm.
Presented in association with the Auckland Festival of Photography.
