Disco Volante, a new exhibition by Caryline Boreham, examines archival material from official records of UFO sightings in Aotearoa New Zealand. In this series of photographs, a zine publication and a moving image work, Boreham draws on text descriptions from eyewitness accounts, ephemeral material from correspondence between The Ministry of Defence and Mr H E Wright and analysed video frames from TV1’s investigative coverage of the Kaikoura lights on 3 Jan 1979.
In re-contextualising this archival material, Boreham plays with a space between the event and its recounting, where the actual UFO sighting becomes secondary to the conviction of its truth.
Opening Hours
