Mark Adams is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s foremost photographers. Over a 50-year career his focus on locations of cross-cultural importance in Aotearoa, including places Captain James Cook visited on his voyages and Treaty of Waitangi signing sites, Samoan tatau (tattooing), museum collections and the repatriation of taonga Māori reflect his engagement with our postcolonial history and place in the world. Mark Adams: A survey | He kohinga whakaahua is the first ever detailed consideration of the artist’s entire body of work. In this elegantly designed book more than 200 photographs, some published for the first time, are accompanied by an essay that charts Adams’ practice and uncovers the thematic concerns he has refined over five decades.
