False Clouds - Zahra Killeen-Chance & Solomon Mortimer

This work explores how the body relates to sites of domesticity and geography by utilising gesture and the performing body to unsettle traditional representations of the figure “in” the landscape, and emphasise how the figure is “of” the environment.

Mortimer and Killeen-Chance have been making video and photographic works together since 2012. They have individually and collectively exhibited their work in galleries throughout New Zealand and internationally. Mortimer is the 2019 recipient of the Marti Friedlander Photographic Laureate and Killeen-Chance is a distinguished graduate from the New Zealand School of Dance.
