Bricolage means making something new from whatever is at hand. We are a group of photographers in Aotearoa New Zealand for whom the camera, the scene, the file, the print and the edit are all raw material, that are then transformed into something of our own.

Must a photograph explain what we see? What happens when we distort, fragment, remix or reimagine it? Can an image invite us to feel, wonder or see differently?

Our work ranges from the quietly observed to the openly abstract, but it shares a willingness to treat photography as a process rather than a record. We take risks, challenge conventions and try things that might fail. We encourage one another through an open exchange of ideas, giving each voice room to grow without pressure to conform.

Our differences unite us.
