Russ Flatt, Bicycle (2010), Photograph
Russ Flatt presents two disparate photographic series in his new installation, Paper Planes. Both explore ideas of identity and look to the past in order to recognise the present.
Colour tableaux confront black and white portraits, creating tension between the various conceptions of self, culture and perspective offered.
Presented together, the two distinct series raise questions about individualism and diversity within cultural groups in Aotearoa today.
