Festival Message This year the Auckland Festival of Photography is very proud to present its 12th edition. At the heart of the Festival programme, we are delighted to be celebrating our 5th Annual Commission by Sacred Hill. We are very excited about the new work PJ Paterson is creating for the Festival. Paterson’s photography is an exhilarating mix of contemporary aesthetic and political engagement and we are very proud to support him. This year his new work will also be shown at the Pingyao International Photography Festival in China. There will also be an opportunity in this 5th celebration year to see all previously commissioined work since 2011 by Roberta Thornley, James K Lowe, Jennifer Mason and Tanu Gago. Once again the Festival has curated a suite of exhibitions under a theme – this year’s theme is Truth & Fiction. From documentary photography to digitally constructed realities there is much overlap between photography genres and shifting amounts of truth and fiction in every photograph for you to consider in this international selection of work. Key exhibitions at the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki feature new work by Lisa Reihana with in Pursuit of Venus [infected] and Laurence Aberhart with ANZAC. At Silo 6 is photography from Auckland, Germany, UK, Estonia and China. Plus direct from Angkor Photo Festival and Workshops is a specially curated selection of international photojournalism. Angkor Photo Festival is one of Asia’s most respected photographic events and a pivotal part of the Asia Pacific Photoforum network.

This year’s Talking Culture Symposium is Photobook Stories, an investigation into the recent development in the presence of Photobooks. Keynote speakers include Anita Tótha (NZ); Dr Doug Spowart(Australia); Mindaugas Kavaliauskas, (Chief Curator, Kaunas Photo Festival Lithuania) and Libby Jeffrey(Australia) who will present a panel discussion. Other highlights include, for the first time in New Zealand, Magnum Workshops, hosted by Whitecliffe College over the opening weekend plus, direct from Paris, the exclusive NZ premiere of Offside Brazil, an exhibition by Magnum photographers Susan Meiselas, David Alan Harvey, Jonas Bendiksen and Alex Majoli, shot in response to Brazil hosting the 2014 Brazil FIFA World Cup. So much to do and see across 21 days as well as over 50 photography exhibitions for and by you across the entire Auckland region in our Fringe programme. And don't forget to mark in your diaries this year's Whitecliffe Festival Tuesday evening event on 2 June. We invite you to engage, ponder, learn and enjoy at the 12th annual Auckland Festival of Photography.

28 May – 17 June

The Auckland Festival of Photography 2015 features the 5th Annual Commission, this year presented by Sacred Hill. Each year, an Aucklandbased photographer is commissioned to create a new body of work for exhibition during the Festival. The commission provides an opportunity to support and promote an Auckland photographer as well as create a cultural and artistic asset for present and future Auckland audiences to enjoy. This year’s commissioned artist is PJ Paterson. PJ Paterson’s work concentrates on the politics of progress and his love/hate relationships as a consumer and a commentator on consumption. He is interested in the beauty created by the juxtaposition of the detritus of capitalism in pristine landscapes. Using digital techniques to stitch multiple photographs together, Paterson forms an imaginary scene which is more an exaggeration that suggests a larger, prescient truth. Born in Manchester, UK in 1974 Paterson emigrated with his family in 1976 to Auckland, NZ where

he lives and works today. As part of the 5th year milestone celebration, the Creative New Zealand International Asia Co-commissioning Fund is supporting the 2015 Annual Commission. The new P J Paterson work will also be shown in China at the Pingyao International Photography Festival in September 2015. Other shortlisted artists this year were Chloe Riddell and Ane Tonga. The selection panel included Elaine Smith, Festival curator; Linda Tyler, Director, Gus Fisher Gallery and Amy Lui, International Curator/Director, Pingyao International Photography Festival, China. — Silo 6 Silo Park, Wynyard Qtr — Opens 6pm on Thursday 28 May — Hours 10.30am – 4.30pm daily — 09 307 7055 — photographyfestival.org.nz

The Island by PJ Paterson

26 May – 19 July

Today digital technology allows immeasurable scenic possibilities. Computers can generate all imaginable scenarios and transfer them into a photography-like form. Dirk Hanus’ displays follow his fantasies and intuitions completely. On one side, with the selection of models, rooms and interiors they are dramaturgically very carefully prepared. Otherwise, they live from spontaneous decisions when carried out. If his pictures in their computer edited appearance differ from reality later on, this happens in conviction that curiosities and peculiarities of everyday life and of abundant mediapresented events from the world beat all our imaginations. In terms of sociology, he shows the world of European middle class in his light and color rooms. The actors are all shown solo in interiors, suggesting a certain loneliness and forsakenness. The viewer has to create his or her own story. Thus, these surreal scenes become sources of our real emotions and fantasies. Text by Dr. Enno Kaufhold, Berlin/ Germany (Abridged – reproduced courtesy of the artist). — Silo 6 Silo Park, Wynyard Qtr — Hours 10.30am – 4.30pm daily — 09 307 7055 — photographyfestival.org.nz

Mothers and Daughters 28 May – 17 June

Susan Meiselas, David Alan Harvey, Jonas Bendiksen and Alex Majoli Offside Brazil 29 June – 19 June

The series Interiors is a selection of vernacular photographs found on the Internet and digitally lages demonstrate a collision of two cultures: Russian women in their domestic interiors in the poses they borrow from Western mass Being photographed in their home interiors these women share intimate moments with the viewer / a photographer for whom they pose. Their poses are easily recognisable by all of us despite coverage of the women’s nudity with the domestic patterns that Maria has borrowed from each image. The series looks at the assimilation of Western values into post-Soviet territories’ cultures and aims to question the effect on women’s roles in contemporary society as it transforms through the global processes of greater and cheaper mobility, the spread of Westernisation and easy access to information. Maria Kapajeva focuses on women’s issues in contemporary society and the cultural and social stereotypes in their representation in mass media.

Julia Fullerton-Batten has created a series of images which challenge the viewer to contemplate the intimate adult relationship between mothers and daughters and the love, struggle and rivalry in their shared lives.

Never Let Go - Georgina & Ingrid

Maria Kapajeva

Artist Statement, 2012: In my latest project, "Mothers and Daughters" I portray the complex and sometimes challenging relationship between a mother and her daughter. It is both documentary and biographical, as it also illustrates memories of my and my two sisters' relationships with our mother, and even her relationship with her mother. I chose to work with real mother and daughter pairs in their own environment, rather than with models or actors. I only needed to orchestrate the sitters moderately to show the essence of their emotional bond. We created their own small world together, at the same time, through the staging of the scene, reviving for me memories of my own family's relationships. As the project grew in shape, form and content, and I related to twenty different mother and daughter pairs, with their very varied, sometimes ultra-sensitive relationships, I realised how much the fragility and vulnerability of females is exposed fully in the mother-daughter relationship. Over the passage of time the relationship changes

Oil & Water: Is clean water the new oil? 30 May – 24 June

Signatures series is a collection of images taken over a three month period in 1975 by American-born photographer John Fields.

Oil & Water brings together two independent suites of work by Murray Lloyd and Peter Evans. Together these photographs highlight, within a New Zealand context, the vitally important international issue of available natural resources, posed by the question: Is clean water the new oil? Access to the sources of water yields immense economic and political power as water is essential to survival. Water is a human right. Worldwide demand is growing and many sources of water are drying up. Are we getting to the point where clean water is the new oil?

Anne Noble’s exhibition comprises a series of 15 images of dead bees, called The Dead Bee Portraits. They are installed as if populating an imaginary museum of the bee, for a time when the bee no longer exists, and are an elegiac reminder of the importance of our relationship to the natural world. Perhaps in a process even more alchemic than silver based photography the portraits were made with a scanning electron microscope - an image making process that employs an electron beam that is excited by the element gold. Anne Noble is one of New Zealand's most respected contemporary photographers. Professor of Fine Arts (Photography) at Massey University Wellington, she was awarded an Arts Foundation Laureate award in 2009 and a Senior Fulbright Scholarship in 2014. — Two Rooms 16 Putiki Street, Newton — Opens 6pm on Thurs 28 May — Hours 11am – 5pm Tue – Fri, 11am – 3pm Sat — 09 360 5900 — tworooms.co.nz

‘No Town’ explores sites on the West Coast of the South Island that used to be towns but are now no longer or only sparsely inhabited. Wellington artist Caroline McQuarrie grew up on the West Coast and has long been interested in the history of the region. Over the last two and a half years, she has been researching and visiting sites where communities sprung up due to gold or coal, and vanished when the resources ran out. McQuarrie has photographed the sites and combined these images with her trademark craft works, highlighting the domestic and community aspects of the history of the sites.

I read somewhere that we experience the world not only as it is, but also as we are. The notion inside our heads, and the subsequent outcome of each encounter is based largely on our current state of mind, throws up questions around what constitutes rational and irrational thought and behaviour. Based on this idea it’s possible that much of what we see and how we see it also exists largely within our heads. Maybe the amount of attention we choose to give to what we see is the determining factor in what we experience as reality. — Nathan Homestead Gallery 1st Floor, Nathan Homestead, 70 Hill Rd Manurewa — Opens 6pm on Fri 15 May — Hours 9am – 5pm Mon – Fri, 1pm – 4pm Sat – Sun — 09 267 0180 — Nathan.Homestead@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz

‘Nothing Anywhere’ represents a selection from de Freitas’ ongoing photographic project Syzygies, a series of 35mm photographs congenitally following the time pattern of a lunar month and distributed digitally. The project also acts as a synthesizer and register for other aspects of de Freitas’ studio Here photography is constituted more as an activity than a medium. The project consists in taking photographs rather than presenting them, and the images take on meaning through their relationship to one another and the passing of time. ‘Nothing Anywhere’ draws from 6 months of color negatives printed on lightsensitive paper. Andrew de Freitas, 2015, color print on Kodak Endura paper These photographs are from an ongoing series. — ELAM Projectspace Gallery, Ground Floor, Main Fine Arts Bldg, 20 Whitaker Place, CBD — Opens 5.30pm Tues 9 June — Hours 11am – 4pm Mon – Sat — 09 923 8000 — andrewdefreitas.com
