Larger than Life
I visited an exhibition at the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa, dedicated to the ill-conceived First World War campaign at Gallipoli. The tragic story, permanently embedded into the local collective psyche, was retold by emotional displays of historic artefacts, multimedia presentations and several hyperrealistic battle scenes remade using two and a half sized human figures.
A message from the past, an expensive lesson in humanity we may or may not learn.
