Listening to a Wet Land is a research project comprising an essay film and a series of large-scale prints made from camera-less ‘river exposures’. Situated in the fragile waters of the Hauraki Plains, the visual research is primarily field recordings. Both the digital moving image and analogue photographs explore stories of loss, of damage incurred in the politics of land use, as well as stories of hope and the potential for repair through agency of the more-than-human.

We need your help to continue providing a year-round programme of online reviews, interviews, portfolios, videos and listings that is free for everyone to access. We’d also like to dream bigger with the services we offer to photographers and the visual arts.
We’ve partnered with Press Patron to give readers the opportunity to support PhotoForum Online.
