Jellicoe & Bledisloe: Hamilton in the 90s

David Cook

Taupō Museum and Art Gallery
4 Story Place, Taupō

26 August 2023 - 8 October 2024

When photographer David Cook moved into Hamilton East, he was drawn to the colorful, creative and chaotic lives of his neighbours. With camera in hand, he explored back-yard mechanics to Sunday roasts, inventing an intimate documentary of a State Housing suburb in the 90s, moments before gentrification set in.

Exhibition toured by the National Portrait Gallery.
