Current video

Yvonne Todd, Denim Seagull (2013)

Digital video, sound, 12 minutes and 23 seconds

11 June – 22 July 2024

A young woman in a long denim dress stands facing the camera, as if modelling the gown. On the soundtrack we hear the sound of seagulls. The juxtaposition of the studio and natural environment with the deadpan expression of the model suggests a sense of bizarre alienation.

Yvonne Todd is an artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
