Su Hendeles - 'thinking of you' - 2nd December 2017 to 27th January 2018 at Photospace Gallery - contemporary photography, Wellington New Zealand

Exhibition poster for 'thinking of you' recent ambrotypes by Su Hendeles

Thinking of you
This exhibition takes a whimsical look at the changing role of the portrait from the dawn of photography to the present day, portrayed through the nineteenth century medium of ambrotype.

Thinking of you comprises three parts:

Extended Family
post-mortem shadow portraits of some small creatures that once shared our house, gleaned from the cobwebs in the corners of the windows.
 
Beloved
a collection of miniatures of questionable emotional value.
 
Remember Me
10 x cased ambrotypes referencing the face as the new gatekeeper of our digital devices.

Thinking of you is showing in Room 3 of Photospace Gallery from 2nd December 2017 to 27th January, 2018. 
'For the ancestors of the next millennials.'

So, what exactly is an Ambrotype?

Holiday hours
Photospace Gallery will be closed for a number of days between 23rd December 2017 and 14 January, 2018.

• 23rd-26th December - I'm really not available
• 30th December - 1st January, likewise

Construction work
Earthquake strengthening work will soon be undertaken on the building facade. As Su's exhibition room is at the back of the building, viewing should be unaffected. It is possible that viewing in room 1 of the gallery (with Andrew Ross's exhibition), may be disrupted.
