“What is a stereotypical New Zealander?” That’s the question French-born photographer Jocelen Janon explores with his exhibition Alter Ego: I is Another.

A project born from the examination of public faces of people and what lay behind this, Alter Ego captures the transformation of Kiwis into their “other I” (the translation of the Latin “alter ego”), as they engage the creativity in all of us and the desire for freedom of expression.

What results is two fascinating portraits that stand alongside each other; a juxtaposition of the public face and the face that lays within.

For the past 10 years, Janon has photographed many subjects, from food photography to portraits, fashion or botany. Having started photography as a child in proto-communist French photographer clubs, Janon worked his way from an Art Degree at the “Ecole des Beaux-Arts” in 1989 to becoming a finalist in the New Zealand Geographic photographer of the year in 2011.
