REIHANA, Lisa, 1964-
Captain James Cook - Female (In Pursuit of Venus) (Photograph)
Artist and 2017 Distinguished Alumna Lisa Reihana is currently
representing New Zealand at the 57th Venice Biennale in Italy with a
panoramic video installation entitled Emissaries. It is her most
ambitious project in a long, illustrious and innovative career with digital media. Ten years in the making, Emissaries is a remarkably complex digital animation that has undergone a number of modifications for the Biennale since it was last shown in Auckland, including incorporating Aboriginal figures.
