Botanist of the Footpath

A group of Freelance, Wellington based Photographers were given 10 billboard sites located throughout the city and given an open brief to critique some aspect of city life.

Located next to major pedestrian routes and key intersections these installations became a visible face of IntensCITY Week generating a lot of discussion about the very issues we were targeting; why does our city look this way? Why can I/cant I move through this space? Is this ugly? Does it matter? Do I care?

I Co-Curated this project with Andy Palmer, it was great fun and meant a lot to see people actually engaging with the work as I lurked around street corners and cafes near the billboards.

The photographers involved in this project were Shaun Lawson, Andy Morley-Hall, Andy Palmer, John Lake, Amelia Handscomb, Andrew Ross.
