Harvey Benge: Victory of the Trivial

Sunday, September 7, 2008

Here are two installation pictures of my show at the Satellite Galllery in Auckland.
Pictures that deal with photography's power to transform.

Harvey's Blog: Paris and Auckland; My pictures explore the strange anthropology of cities. The unusual and overlooked in the human landscape. I am asking the viewer to question the idea that photographs as documents are complete representations of subject. I'm interested in the universality of life and the idea of parallel lives - when one thing is happening here, something else is happening over there. The democracy of non-places fascinates me, in the knowledge that inevitably nothing is as it seems. I work and live between Auckland and Paris. http://harveybenge.com/ email:harvey.benge@xtra.co.nz
