Author Description

"I can press my face up against the glass surveys a series of video works by Shannon Te Ao in collaboration with cinematographer Iain Frengley: Untitled (McCahon House studies) (2011), Untitled (After Rākaihautū) (2012) and Untitled (Andersons Bay) (2012). These three works share various approaches to engaging a site; combining historical research and direct performative response, retracing the comoplex histories and gongong relationships associated to a place."--Foreword.
