Russ Flatt and Kieran Scott – Two views on a landscape

The Landing is a site of bicultural exchange that was pivotal in New Zealand’s history. Two photographers – one Māori, one Pākehā – address the weight of that history in a unique art project.  

Artists and photographers Russ Flatt (Ngāti Kahungungu) and Kieran Scott – one Māori, one Pākehā – visited The Landing together in mid-2020 for an art project that responded to the rich history of the place. Their very different responses to this brief led to a series of works that now occupy The Landing Suites in The Hotel Britomart.
