Eyes on Fire Gallery
15 Great North Rd, Auckland

29 May - 18 June 2026

Opening event May 29th, 6pm

RANGE is an arts project where the artists have used the concept of movement as an invitation to experiment with photographic techniques and mediums in a myriad of different ways.

The group’s diverse experiments with unpredictable chemical processes and expired materials track the movement of humans and plants across oceans and borders; their exposures capture the motion of limbs, water, sediment, wind and rock.

The participating artists first met online at Art Photo School in 2025, a project initiated by artist Kate van der Drift. Kate says "I started Art Photo School to create a space to support sustained, process-driven photographic art practices. The first cohort brought together this wonderful group of engaged artists. We met weekly and talked through ideas, material processes, contemporary and research practices, and our shared experiences. The idea was to create momentum and accountability by showing up and sharing our progress regularly. It’s incredible to see these connections extending into this exhibition."

The Auckland Festival of Photography movement [kori] provided an ideal opportunity for the cohort to continue working together and to present their work within an expanded photographic context. Post opening night RANGE invites the public to join the artists’ panel discussion on Saturday 30th at 11am for a chance to delve into the processes and conceptual layering of the artworks.
