Descrição: Through a pioneering practice combining photography, video, and installation, Lisa Reihana has achieved what most artists only ever dream about: she makes a full-time living from her art. Of Maori Ngapuhi, Ngati Tu, and Ngati Hine descent, she has had her work exhibited in museums, art galleries, and art festivals around the world, including the Auckland Art Gallery, Brooklyn Museum, University of Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art in Queensland, October Gallery in London, Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center in New Caledonia, and Te Papa Tongarewa in Wellington. Utilizing green-screen technology to superimpose performers against a back-drop based on Dufour's whimsical Tahitian landscape, Reihana's vignettes explore meetings between Polynesian ancestors and early European explorers. Her philosophy is "making" rather than "taking," with a long-standing emphasis on portraiture photographs and historical and ancestral narratives.
