About the Artist
Harry Culy is a contemporary artist and photographer. Born in 1986 he lives in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington. Harry uses photography as a means to examine every day contemporary life in both Australia and Aotearoa. He often works on long-term projects that span a number of years, frequently returning to places and communities that he has a personal connection to. Each image Harry takes is a pause amid an intensive, wandering process. Using a large format 4×5 field camera he produces enigmatic photographs found within daily life, often including vacant interiors, stark portraits, and landscapes—each hinting at narratives beyond the picture plane.
