WINTER 2025
PHOTOSYNTHESISERS: WOMEN AND THE LENS
Te Uru Gallery, Auckland NZ 16th Feb - 25 May
'Photosynthesisers: Women and the lens includes photographs and videos produced since the 1960s by women artists living in Aotearoa and Australia. As the title suggests, the exhibition is centred on the specific, transformative relationship between women and lens-based media, and identifies an intergenerational regional history via the photographs and videos of artists from Aotearoa, Australia, and Moana Oceania. Importantly, this does not revise and otherwise male-dominated lineage, but rather illustrates the world- and desire-building of diverse women artists and the undeniable social, political, and cultural ferment of their work. Embracing the metaphor of photosynthesis, the exhibition focuses on the enabling quality of the lens for capturing and transmuting sociopolitical energy, which has provided scope for necessarily divergent and intersecting worldviews. Spanning documentary, diaristic, and speculative modes, exhibited works address a wide range of issues including identity, care, trauma, reality, history, and politics '

REVIEW: 'WOMEN IN REVOLT'
AT TATE BRITAIN .... Guardian review mentions Alexis's work SEE HERE
'I loved Alexis Hunter’s The Marxist’s Wife (still does the housework), where the title is as potent as the image of a woman’s hand attempting to clean the face of Karl Marx through 20 prints, the dirt simply getting thicker'
