The Unseen City 123 Photographs of Auckland, a collection of works by New Zealand photographer Gary Baigent. An unknown masterpiece by a New Zealand photographer who is rarely known in Japan. Born in 1941, Baygent spent three years completing this work, studying painting at university, then turning to photography, doing various jobs and earning money. The stage is Auckland, and although it is a big city, the population has just exceeded 500,000. However, people from various countries have migrated, the historic Victorian architecture has been transformed into concrete, and the city has begun to climb the steps to economic growth. At the same time, a counterculture by young people was born, and bikers and hippie-style young people wearing Hells Angels leather jackets wander around the city at night. This unique atmosphere, which is a mixture of old and new, is captured in the camera with a unique sense. A stunning group of works that can be imagined to have been revolutionary at the time, such as monochrome shadows, contrast of objects, and image depictions that make full use of blurring and blurring and reflection. A valuable book by a pioneer of New Zealand photography.
