Aotearoa Art Fair 2026

Michael Reid Sydney + Berlin travels to Auckland in April for the 2026 edition of the Aotearoa Art Fair, taking visitors inside the atmospheric worlds of Auckland-born, Eora/Sydney-based contemporary photographer Scott Perkins.

In his newest collection, Perkins creates a space beyond the visible, capturing the viewer’s imagination through serene, atmospheric environments. Perkins orchestrates an elegant synthesis of photo-media and design elements, demonstrating innovation across printing, framing and lightbox presentation. His lightboxes introduce a sculptural dimension to his photographs, transforming the spaces they inhabit with considered lighting and exceptional materials, including crafted timber, handmade Japanese washi and metallic Hahnemühle papers. Grounded in abstract landscape photography, Perkins’s accomplished aesthetic amplifies the majesty of his sharply composed subject matter.

Also on view at Aotearoa Art Fair will be a curated selection of important works by Australian photographers Tamara Dean, William Yang and Petrina Hicks, as well as new paintings by Regina Pilawuk Wilson and photographs by German artist Kristin Schnell.
