The Afterglow of Industry collects photographs and texts made during a 10-year project in which the artist repeatedly traveled the length of New Zealand, from its urban centers to its most remote landscapes. Through painstakingly produced large-format film photographs and extended texts, the book explores the aftermath of the industrial era and colonial project in New Zealand, reflecting on what our labor and dreams can mean in an age of late-capitalism and climate change.
Chris Corson-Scott was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1985. He is a leading New Zealand photographer who has exhibited extensively in New Zealand, with work in public collections including Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, and Victoria University, Wellington.
