The Loading Bay
7.50 and back
Located on the Taranaki Street side of the Film Archive, The Loading Bay street screen showcases contemporary art projects. Passers-by can stop and watch at anytime, any night from 7pm until 7am.
Screening from 23 June to 13 July is 7.50 and back, a collaborative project by Miguel Gonzalez and Alannah Gunter
If a hole was drilled in Linz, Austria with an angle of 7.5 degrees, right down the globe it would reach Wellington.
In Linz viewers peer down a vertical canal-tube which has a camera inside. These images of curious Europeans are relayed to Wellington.
A webcam emerging up through the ground will be installed in Abel Smith Street. Images of curious Wellingtonians will be relayed back to Linz.
