How does photography shape our perception of places? Site Seeing explores how early landscape photography created idealised images of the land. The works of Bridget Reweti (Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāi Te Rangi) and Conor Clarke (Kāi Tahu, Scottish, Welsh) highlight the power of photography as a medium for understanding place, and for contesting, reinterpreting, and reclaiming histories. Ākonga use maths and science knowledge to bring images to life and consider how perspectives on the land can be altered.
