Daniel by Tanu Gago, Vinesh Kumaran

Artwork Detail

Tanu Gago’s portraits are the result of complex staging and direction. The location, participants, props and lighting effects combine to create images that look like stills taken on a film set. Gago initially trained as a filmmaker but began a new media practice to refine his storytelling.

Daniel responds to how New Zealanders and Pacific communities see contemporary Pacific males. It addresses the shades and ambiguities of Pacific masculinity.
