Lisa Reihana: Maori History in 3D
Tim Marlow follows New Zealand visual artist Lisa Reihana from her grand exhibition opening at the Venice Biennale, to the industrial surrounds of her Auckland studio.
Lisa Reihana is one of New Zealand鈥檚 most important artists. Her work, In Pursuit of Venus [infected] became one of the highlights of the 2017 Venice Biennale. It is a 26 metre long animated wallpaper that was many years in the making - a reinterpretation of a 200-year-old panoramic wallpaper created by Joseph Dufour that painted an exotic portrait of the life of Pacific people as described by Captain Cook.
In this story - recorded back in 2017 - Lisa is working on a short 3D film titled Nomads of the Sea which again looks at the meeting of two cultures, featuring an epic encounter between two female warriors. Presenter Tim Marlow joins Lisa Reihana in her New Zealand studio to talk about art, film and creativity.
