A few months ago photographer Frank Breuer was in New Zealand to exhibit some work and talk about his cool, typological surveys of seemingly banal subjects, such as shipping containers, warehouses and power poles. Working methodically in series, his images manage to extract an enigmatic poetry from these otherwise generic scenes.In one of his talks he mentioned that he often explores sites in advance on google maps. Excellent! We had been looking for a good excuse to present the colossal colour-field abstracts we have long admired, stacked up in some of the world’s major freight yards. So here is ANTWERP, LOS ANGELES, LIVERPOOL, KOWLOON, TOKYO, SYDNEY, and TAURANGA.
