Harvey Benge (NZ/FR) presenting his photobook work

“My interest lies in the strange anthropology of cities, observing and making photographs of the unusual and overlooked in the human landscape where nothing is as it seems. I make photographic series which evolve into bookworms.”

He conducted workshops at the AUT University, Auckland and the Lichtblick School, Cologne, in colaboration with artists like Pieter Hugo, Rineke Dijkstra, Antoine d’Agata and Lewis Baltz.
