Photography

Throughout his career, Hipkins has worked with both analogue and digital forms of photography. His work is often produced as either discrete multi-part works or, more rarely, in ongoing series.


Falls (1992-)

Hipkins began working with the format he used for a number of works, collectively known as ''Falls'', while he was still at art school. These works are made up of 'vertical strip of machine prints, which present the content of a single roll of film—a session of almost identical shots of one subject from more or less the same angle, like a ‘shot’ of film footage'. ''Zerfall Wellington 1 March 1996'' (1996) is made up of images from a firework display. ''Falls, Zerfall'' (1997–1998), shown at the 1998
Biennale of Sydney The Biennale of Sydney is an international festival of contemporary art, held every two years in Sydney, Australia. It is a large and well-attended contemporary visual arts event in the country. Alongside the Venice and São Paulo biennales and ...
, consisted of images of circular objects usually found in kitchens and bathrooms. A set of seven Falls, titled ''The Gulf'', mixed images collected from pornography websites (each work was titled after a genre: Teen, Blonde, Mature, Asian, Latina, Ebony, and Red-headed) mixed with stereotypical imagery from travel advertising, photos of small accessories (buttons, ribbon) and neutral background textures.


Westwards (1993)

In this series, Hipkins used ready-made images, sourced from kitschy offset prints made in Switzerland in 1978, which he bought in West Auckland. He reproduced the images as large rectangular wallpaper murals (2160 x 4800 mm each).


New Age (1993-2003)

The ''New Age'' works are closely linked to the photographs in ''The Sanctuary'' series. Photographs of New Zealand's West Coast and other personally significant landscapes are overlaid with

s of beads. The original photographs are sourced from Hipkins' own archive, using existing works that have rarely been printed.


The Field (1994-1995)

In ''The Field'' 1,500 photograms produced by placing a polystyrene ball on a sheet of photographic paper and exposing it to light. The photograms were shown as a single massed grid on the gallery wall. The work was shown at

The Trench (1997-1998)

In 1997, Hipkins visited

As the images of the hand form rotate in the photographs, the roses move from red to orange to yellow.


The Homely (1997-2000)

The 80 c-type prints in ''The Homely'' were taken over a period of several years, on trips around New Zealand and Australia. In this work, Hipkins explored the idea of nationhood, and the signs and symbols used to express a sense of belonging to a place, especially, as he described it, 'in the turbulent wake of British Imperialism'. Each work is individually titled with a date, a named object, and a location, and the 80 works were hung alongside each other in a continuous display. In the publication accompanying the exhibition art historian Peter Brunt wrote:
The work requires its spectator to walk by it, so that the process of looking at it transpires in time. These dates and names are important. They specify individual sites but they also map the site specificity of the work as a whole. They are a kind of litany accompanying the viewer in his or her passage through the work.
Works from ''The Homely'' were shown in ''Flight Patterns'', an exhibition curated by Connie Butler for the

The installation was produced when Hipkins was in Dunedin as part of the gallery's Visiting Artist Programme.

Hipkins photographed details of buildings' interiors and exteriors, and printed the resulting images on expired photo paper, producing images that were often blurred, under or over-exposed, too high or too low in contrast: the opposite of 'professional' architectural photographs.

The Crib (c. 2000)

''The Crib'' is a multi-part photogram work, originally displayed as a 20 metre-long frieze. As with numerous other works, such as ''The Field'', the photograms are made by exposing sheets of photographic paper over with polystyrene balls have been laid.


The Colony (2000-2002)

This work, made up of 100 individual c-type prints of painted and glued-together hemispherical polystyrene blobs, was made for the 2002
Sao Paulo Biennale SAO or Sao may refer to: Places * Sao civilisation, in Middle Africa from 6th century BC to 16th century AD * Sao, a town in Boussé Department, Burkina Faso * Saco Transportation Center (station code SAO), a train station in Saco, Maine, U.S. ...
and then re-shown at the Gus Fisher Gallery in Auckland. Curator Robert Leonard wrote of this work:
Geometric yet organic, the blobs resemble at once alien pods, igloos, pup tents, breasts, the curvaceous hills and mud pools of his native New Zealand, and bacteria. The psychedelic colour scheme is both candied and toxic; we could be staring into a lava lamp, perhaps furthering a boudoir subtext. There’s no reference for scale. The work could imply a macroscopic view (an imperialist invasion, a commune of hippie drop-outs in their geodesic domes, or a high-tech off-world encampment on a weirdly hued planet) or a microscopic one.


The Next Cabin (2000-2002)

While undertaking post-graduate study at the University of British Columbia, Hipkins decided he wanted 'one sustainable, heavyweight project' to focus on. ''The Next Cabin'' is a sequel of sorts to ''The Homely'', made up of 40 c-type prints of photographs taken in the Pacific Northwest. The series is also influenced by the Cascadian independent movement, a hypothetical nation stretching from Southern British Columbia to Northern California.


The Stall (2001)

''The Stall'' was made when Hipkins was artist in residence at the

. made up of 95 c-type prints, the work uses the 'Fall' form and features imagery as diverse as buttons, car racing, and female faces and bodies.


The Sanctuary (2004-)

''The Sanctuary'' is a series of square-format unique silver gelatin prints. In them, Hipkins documents parks, gardens and zoos in cities in various countries (including Shanghai, Rotorua, London, Melbourne, New Plymouth and Hong Kong), often selecting details to focus on rather than following the traditional formats of landscape photography. These images are then superimposed with photograms of sinuous abstract shapes; lengths of ribbon, strands of beads, chain necklaces and threaded sequins. Hipkins continued work on ''The Sanctuary'' during his time on an artist residency at the International Studio and Curatorial Program in New York in 2006.


Tender Buttons (2006)

The ''Tender Buttons'' works were developed when Hipkins was in New York on the International Studio and Curatorial Programme residency. In these works, images from artworks and objects in museum collections are overlaid with oversized scans of buttons sourced from New York's garment district, located near the residency hub. The title of the works alludes to Gertrude Stein's '' Tender Buttons''. A related work, the 12-piece ''The Terrace'' (2008) is held in the collection of the

.


Empire (2007), Second Empire (2008)

In ''Empire'', Hipkins first used the method of taking scans he made of colour plates in books and then overlaying them with an embroidered patches and decals bought from markets and music stores. Hipkins selected his images from children's Commonwealth and Empire annuals from the 1950s. He worked on these series over the summer of 2007/2008 on his McCahon House residency, and showed ''Second Empire'' at the Lopdell House Gallery.


Bible Studies (New Testament) (2008)

The ''Bible Studies (New Testament)'' works were first shown at the Adam Art Gallery and then re-presented at Starkwhite Gallery in Auckland. Continuing the methods he used in ''Empire'' and ''Second Empire'', the large-format c-type prints each feature a detail of an image appropriated from a 1968 illustrated children's bible, overlaid with an embroidered patch bearing a two or three-word phrase from

Collaboration with Karl Fritsch (2012-)

Hipkins met jeweller
Karl Fritsch Karl Fritsch (24 February 1864 – 17 January 1934) was an Austrian botany, botanist. He was born in Vienna and educated mainly at the University of Vienna, obtaining his PhD degree in 1886 and his Habilitation in 1890. In 1900 he moved to ...
when the two artists had concurrent exhibitions at Wellington dealer gallery Hamish McKay Gallery. Fritsch frequently collaborates with other artists, but this is Hipkins' first collaboration. Hipkins selects narrative black and white photographs from his archive, which Fritsch then applies metal and gem stones to, puncturing, filing back and variously altering the surfaces of the works. Their collaborative works have been presented in several dealer gallery exhibitions and in ''Multiple Exposures: Jewelry and Photography'' at the

Leisure Valley and The Port (2014)

In 2013 Hipkins returned to

to photograph and film for two works: ''Leisure Valley'' (a 46-part photo-installation) and ''The Port'', a short film. The 46 photos in ''Leisure Valley'' reflect the 46 sectors in Le Corbusier's original plan for Chandigarh; ''The Port'' combines images of the 18th century architectural instruments Jantar Mantars with imagery drawn from the New Zealand landscape, and suburban architecture from Stonefields, a new Auckland residential development, accompanied by audio of passages being read from H.G. Wells' novella ''The Time Machine''. The two were shown together in 2014 as ''Leisure Valley'' at St Paul St Gallery in Auckland.


Block Paintings (2015-)

Hipkins' latest series of works, ''Block Paintings'', features large-format unique colour photographs of small, carefully hand-painted wooden children's blocks. The painted blocks are photographed against neutral backgrounds either straight-on or from above. Hipkins says of these works:
Sitting between sculpture, painting, and photography, I like to think of these new works as ‘kinder monuments’ — a reference to their ambiguous scale, and the occupation of the field plane by massively enlarged brutalist wooden blocks.
In late 2018 Hipkins extended his experimentation in this body of work in the dealer gallery exhibition ''Block Units'', including an 80-image slide projection of photographs of pairs of painted blocks arranged in sculptural formations alongside framed photographs.


Film making

Hipkins began making experimental short films in 2010. In 2014, his first feature film ''Erewhon'' - based on Samuel Butler’s 1872 novel ''Erewhon, Or Over the Range'' - premiered at the
