Caryline Boreham: Disco Volante
Disco Volante examines archival material of UFO sightings in Aotearoa New Zealand. This exhibition presents a series of photographs, a moving image work and a zine publication, exploring several threads around UFO sightings written about in official records.
Since 鈥榯he great airship flap鈥� in 1909, reported sightings of unknown objects flying over Aotearoa have been constant. The New Zealand Defence Force began keeping records on UFO sightings in 1952, along with numerous civilian organisations dedicated to researching the origins of these sightings.
Caryline Boreham has worked with these and other UFO archival records from Aotearoa since 2016, using the accounts, visual descriptions and correspondence as a foundation for her ongoing project. With an interest in the people and characters as sources, Boreham explores a psychology of seeing, rather than what has been seen.
