Elizabeth Corin and Dorothy Howie: On Being book launch and exhibition

Throughout her photographic practice, Aotearoa New Zealand artist Elizabeth Corin has consistently attended to the intimate moments that cross-pollinate beauty and meaning throughout everyday life. With her latest project, On Being, she invites us to step with her once more into a world that encourages us to linger in stillness, to dwell in the quiet moments between. Accompanied with poems by Dr Dorothy Howie, photographs in this book offer a shared meditation on the landscapes that we traverse, both together and alone, on our walk through the world. Offering stillness, repose, and the evocative gathering of meaning and memory, On Being is an ode to the abundance of beauty around us – in the spaces between earth, sky, skin, and meeting minds – and to the unsung courageousness of turning our gaze to the horizon, with feet planted on the ground, as we continue our journey of simply being.

This project is presented as part of the Auckland Festival of Photography.
