'Best of'
Invited to prepare an exhibition of the 'Best of British' as part of the Queen's Birthday Weekend Celebrations on the waterfront in Auckland, Burnett-Rose prepared a film and photography exhibition of the best of British women in history, including Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Goodall and other notable historical figures. There was a surprising film component to the exhibition on the monitors and large screen.
'Everything that touches us'
This 90 min film is a beautiful indictment of tourism and travel, in philosophical film-essay style, with 10 9min chapters that can be seen in or out of sequence. With sorrow and loss at its heart, it asks forgiveness of the world, for our rape of it, and all who live on it. The film's underlying premise is that tourism is to the world what cancer is to the body, a growth out of control, using natural elements to make unnatural passage, creating death out of life, sucking blood as it kills it’s host. All the while, the soldiers of its army disgorge themselves upon the pristine corridors of earth as yet unscorched, eating everything in their path, leaving a wake of destruction echoing with the glee of their hungry journeys. Tourism kills as certainly as bombs, but the pleasures of tourism blind us to its consequences as surely as an orgasm at the hand of some cheap hooker in Bangkok obscures the girl’s age or destitution, and our own culpability in the degradation of her life.
'Global Citizen'
What does it mean to be a 'Global Citizen', what are the boundaries of the human heart, why do we stand behind invisible lines and abandon our fellow human beings to lives of misery.. an ontological dilemma in film and photos, with an open call to NZ artists to contribute to a group show, coinciding with my work with the Global Poverty Project as Creative Director and Producer of the Global Citizen Concert at the Auckland Town Hall.
'A Thousand Lovers: Tamaki Makaurau' - Work commissioned for Britomart Train Station for ARTWEEK, also exhibiting in ARTBOX GALLERY, Queen's Wharf - please see link in toolbar.
'Love Letters Lost'
Love letters that were never sent is a companion piece to 'A Thousand Lovers', showing in prints along the Queen's Wharf, sponsored by Phantom posters. It was also shown at the Britomart Train Station during ARTWEEK. In an earlier interactive installation in the ARTBOX, Burnett-Rose invited members of the public to anonymously post 'letters you wish you had written' into an onsite postbox. She photogaphed some of the over 600 letters she received, and they were featured as part of this exhibition. Some extremely poignant letters contrast with pithy, desperate, grateful and angry letters.
'ID-Me'
A new art installation featuring photos of members of the public as they took part in an interactive photo shoot on the Queen's Wharf in Auckland. Passersby were invited to play with different photographic backdrops, props, costumes and written text, to create their own unique 'look' and 'message'..It is said that 'clothes maketh the man', and this installation looked at how identity is constructed through our choice of clothes, make up, hair, props and context. A security guard has a strong identity when dressed up in his uniform, but when he chose to wear a dress with a wig, holding a stuffed owl, the whole interpretation of his personality was reframed. ID-Me also featured films that examine the idea that culture and identity are performances. They're 'identity constructs' often semi consciously chosen by the individual, deriving from media and cultural programming of what is 'cool', 'acceptable' or 'normal'. ID-Me was a call to consciously play more creatively with the way we represent ourselves, to become aware of our own 'messaging'. This art installation was a very consciously constructed 'set', but so too is a restaurant, a bar, a home, and even an institution. Every item in the environment is 'chosen' to fulfil a specific message of meaning and identity, and as such is an 'installation'.
'Favorite Things'
Children and their parents were invited to Queens Wharf with their ‘favourite things’ to take part in an interactive art installation to be displayed on Queens Wharf. Favourite toys, objects of great significance, things you love. Children are particularly encouraged to take part with their binkies, blankies and other special creatures. A collaboration with my then 9 year old daughter Lily Rose, photographing & interviewing people with their favourite things.
'Sky wishes'
For adults and children: be spontaneous, write your wishes for the world or yourself on beautiful colourful kites provided by the Queen's Wharf, fly your wishes to the sky. An interactive, installation of movement and colour designed to bring whimsy and play to the city.
'Things that matter' with Tiki Taane
This installation examines the role and responsibility of the artist, the importance of standing up and having a voice, and the unique role that musician Tiki Taane embodies in NZ, with his mixed Maori/Pakeha heritage. Tiki's beliefs or causes are represented outdoors on the Phantom Poster site, and his art, music, and culture inside the ARTBOX. The title derives from the Martin Luther King quote ' the world begins to end the day that we're silent about the things that matter' .
Yes!
Over several years, I've been making films and photographs of 'life enhancers' - people who, through their natural vitality, courage and playfulness, bring life to any situation. As a means of capturing that inherent joy and irrepressible creativity, I've filmed people of all ages and backgrounds as they dance. In the ARTBOX portable photo/film set up, with backdrops, music system, lighting and camera, everyday passersby were enticed into the open 'booth' to dance for joy, for silliness, for fun! The challenge is for everyday people to step out of their normal frameworks and say YES! to life. The footage is designed to play across multiple screens, with all images slowed down to micro-expression level and an entirely different soundtrack as the backdrop to the movements.
