New photographs from Chris Corson-Scott’s long-standing project to uncover Aotearoa, New Zealand’s industrial heritage. This work looks to the forgotten endeavours that built the modern nation and environmental crises over indigenous land and asks: is our civilisation a monument worth, worthy of, or capable of sustaining that history?
This publication also features essays by Laurence Simmons, Professor of Film Studies and Media Communication at The University of Auckland, and poet Chris Holdaway, as well as an interview between the artist and Emil McAvoy.
Evanescent Monuments was produced to accompany exhibitions of the same name that ran at Parlour Projects (June 9–July 7, 2018) and Trish Clark Gallery (October 5–November 9, 2018).
