SUNDAY 28 JULY

“Kia ora, I'm Elisa, I'm French and I moved to Aotearoa New Zealand in 2022.

Since I was a teenager, I always had a camera in my hand, especially while traveling. I'm interested in the link between people and cities, and how small details can show a human's presence.

When I arrived in Aotearoa, I did my first zines with the pictures I took during my walks through the cities. My goal is to have pictures full of colours and make my zines an experience: scavenger hunts are hidden in my zines!

I am also doing standup comedy, and any art from that crosses my way. I learn everything by myself with the help of our good friend the internet.”

Best Photography Zine runner-up at Auckland zinefest 2023
“This unique photozine, is presented as a treasure hunt that invites an exploration of the territory through photography. It is a photographic proposal full of color, nostalgia and play, which encourages the creation of a photographic map through the artist’s interpretation of a geographical map. A simple and charming idea.” – Fernanda Venegas, Photographer & judge of Best Photography Zine
