On my return, I encountered an eerie feeling: ‘home’ felt strangely unfamiliar. This prompted a desire to explore this uncanny sense of simultaneous belonging and non-belonging, through photographing the next generation of young people living here, and the landscape they inhabit, as a way to picture what home might mean to me now.’\u003c\/em\u003e — Harry Culy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMirror City\u003c\/em\u003e is a deeply personal and lyrical exploration of Harry Culy’s hometown, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington. Made between 2018-2022, the photographs in this book wander through a nondescript urban landscape, recording scenes that oscillate between the mysterious and mundane. Enigmatic graffiti, tangled vines and wires, cracked glass, boarded-up doorways and portraits of the young people who live here: these moments are punctuated with private iPhone notes and observations, domestic reminders, and lists. Arranged in sequence, the photographs and text in this book form a dreamlike narrative that rejects any sort of definitive conclusion. It instead looks for patterns and rhythms that may echo the fragility of belonging, and the uncertain future facing us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eLinen hardcover with tipped-in photo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eOffset printed with 58 duotone plates\u003cbr\u003e202 \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(33, 37, 41);\"\u003e× \u003c\/span\u003e250 mm, 100 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34);\"\u003eDesign by Sam Fraser and Harry Culy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44364279906501,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/9780473658595.jpg?v=1739506136","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/mirror-city","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
