Unreliable Artefacts – An Exhibition by Lee Woodman, Nelson NZ – April 2023 [Video]

The ‘Unreliable Artefacts’ installation by Nelson artist Lee Woodman was on display in April 2023 as part of Nelson Jewellery Week’s ‘Buildings Need Jewellery’ project.

Woodman’s provocative work consisted of LED signs featuring lyrics from songs by Elton John, The Police, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan.

It was located behind the historic Cock & Co building, home to Red Gallery, Arthouse Architecture & several other businesses on the corner of Bridge and Rutherford streets, Nelson.

About the Video

The video was more or less a spur of the moment thing. Inspired by the art, I grabbed some footage while shooting stills. It ended up with a slower sort of vibe which is only one take on the exhibition whose spirit might better be captured with something a bit more upbeat.

Shot on a Panasonic GH5 with an 8-18mm lens mostly. Edited on Final Cut Pro.
