Gayle Chong Kwan's immersive installation Wastescape, 2019, weaves thousands of milk bottles into a mesmerising image that reflects our consumer habits, particularly of plastic used by the dairy industry in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Exploring the environmental impact of excessive waste, Chong Kwan, alongside fresh water scientist Mike Joy and artist Alex Monteith, discusses the role of artists in building awareness of human responsibility for the pollution of our planet. The discussion will tease out the beauty and brutal reality of an otherworldly landscape made of waste.

Wastescape is commissioned by Te Tuhi, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, in partnership with art and environmental organisation Invisible Dust, UK, and the Humber Museums Partnership, UK.
