Cultural Tattoos Invisible in Wet Collodion Prints (2018)

Using the wet collodion process, the subjects appear to have their ink magically removed in portraits hung next to modern digital photos creating a surreal before and after effect. This exhibition forms an important social documentary of the people who choose to proudly wear tā moko today embracing their history and showcasing one of the many endangered traditions still holding strong in today’s modern society. Many of the subjects from the photos we there for the event and appear grateful to Bradley paying homage and respect to their cherished tradition.
