Mizuho Nishioka is a Kāpiti-based photographic artist, who lectures in photography in the School of Design, Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington.
Her work explores the relationship between representation and scientific depiction of the natural world. It centres on the technological production of the photographic image and how, through disruption of photographic procedures, a creative practitioner might arrive at new visual territories.
Nishioka’s work has been shown internationally and is collected in leading public and private collections. She has been invited to show in the European Culture Centre Exhibit as part of their ‘Personal Structures’ project during the Venice Biennale 2022—the highly prestigious international art event spanning venues across Venice.
She will be showing in a solo room in Palazzo Bembo from April to November 2022.
This exhibition presents a collection of recent images here from Ashburton, Oamaru, Paekākāriki, Waikato and Pito-one.
