Nobody’s Home
 
Nobody’s Home, is a collection of images from 2020 to the present, of beggars and homeless people’s belongings on the streets of Wellington’s central business district. I’m not sure if there is a direct link to the global pandemic or if I’ve just noticed them more, but these collections of belongings left on the streets seem to have become more commonplace during this period. These groups of belongings form part of the visible progression of begging or living on the streets of Wellington over the last few years.

Note: John's photo series is displayed in a grid of twelve A3+ prints in the main gallery room, mid-LH wall.
