As I mentioned in an earlier post one part of the core programme of FotoFreo12 includes a group exhibition of New Zealand photographers that is curated by Zara Stanhope, a curator, writer and PhD candidate at the Australian National University. It will include Mark Adams, Joyce Campbell, James Lowe, Richard Orjis and Greg Semu who featured in Unnerved: the New Zealand Project
Greg Semu is a highly regarded New Zealand-born Samoan contemporary artist, now resident in Sydney:
Greg Semu Self portrait with pe'a (side view), 1995, printed 2004 , Gelatin silver photograph on paper
This image was created as a tribute to master Samoan tattooist Tufuga tatatau Su’a Sulu’ape Paulo II and features four different views of the pe’a (full-body tattoo) that Sulu’ape inscribed on Semu’s skin.
