Fiona Pardington Taharaki Skyside
Temporarily out of stock
Brimming with impossible beauty and aching loss, Fiona Pardington’s avian portraits resurrect the dignity, charisma and wildness of New Zealand native birds preserved as taxidermy specimens in museum collections. Scaled up to deific proportions, these birds are not merely replicated but reborn.
Ancestral memory is brought to life under the gaze of photographer Fiona Pardington (Kai Tahu, Kati Mamoe, Ngati Kahungunu, Clan Cameron of Erracht) ONZM. One of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most powerful contemporary artists, Pardington’s practice captivates audiences with her profound ability to convey the intangible through exquisitely composed photographs. This book explores the practice of an artist at the height of her career and reveals the monumental avian portraits she has created for the New Zealand Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale.
Featuring a rich and brilliant selection of texts by Geoffrey Batchen, Maia Nuku, Hana O’Regan, Harry Rickit, Megan Tamati-Quennell and Andrew Paul Wood, and beautifully designed by the artist’s brother, artist and designer Neil Pardington, including an exquisite colourway representing Aotearoa New Zealand skies at dawn.
