Kāpiti-based photographic artist Mizuho Nishioka is exhibiting recent work in the new gallery space, opened to maintain a district gallery presence in Kāpiti while the main gallery building is redeveloped.
Later this year she will be exhibiting solo at the Palazzo Bembo as part of the Venice Biennale – not as New Zealand’s representative but at the invitation of the European Culture Commission. Mizuho was born in Japan.
Her exhibition of recent work will be on display at MAHARA iti until late April. Her work focuses on the production of photographic images and how, by amendment, alteration or disruption of the photographic process can explore new territory.
