Description
A collaboration between photographer Chris Corson-Scott & poet Chris Holdaway.
Intense photographs, lyrical essay, & elegiac poetry combine to chart the artists’ trek through fading dreams of New Zealand’s industrial heritage. Human material endeavours threaten to send the planet into an uninhabitable death-spiral; manufacturing towns once bustling with life are discarded like the consumer goods they once produced—: “Far from an enlightened response to material exploitation, our unimaginative flight from former rural centres & industrial towns is in fact the same inability to conceive an adequate response to climate change & the Anthropocene.”
This book was produced to accompany the exhibition Dreaming in the Anthropocene, which ran at Trish Clark Gallery, June 13–July 29, 2017.
