A portrait of New Zealand shops – disappearing, sad, beautiful, comic, lonesome, dirt poor, rich in spirit. (Steve Braunias)

The images exhibited are from the book The Shops by Peter and writer Steve Braunias (published by Luncheon Sausage Books). Photospace Gallery will have copies of this book when it becomes available.

The opening event for both exhibitions will be on Thursday 17th November, 5pm-7pm. (This is not the book launch.)

Not all belongings that are kept “spark joy”. Many things are stored or displayed that may not be treasured. They could have become clutter, may cause anxiety, or feel like a burden or responsibility. Perhaps time or transfer of ownership has caused the objects to become separated from their stories. In this project Ellie Smith and Cathy Tuato’o Ross have been curious about the shifting relationships between objects and meanings, and bring some possible solutions to the problems of accumulation, excess or inheritance to the gallery. Learning from photography, in which three dimensions are reduced to two, Smith and Tuato’o Ross experiment with reducing volume, through compressing, flattening and cremating.

'Partial Loss...' is a collaborative exhibition.
