About this Exhibition
Screening to coincide with the exhibition Blue Planet, this video work from the Gallery collection is of the waters of Lake Taupo, near the mouth of the Hinemaia River.
Chris Heaphy has turned this rich-blue waterscape on its side to create an enigmatic image suggesting ghostly figures.
The soundtrack is a mixture of Gregorian chanting and sacred music by sixteenth-century Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi.
