Artist Statement

My animals are cradled in cryogenic code. Forever real, forever active, forever alive. And while I concur with Sontag’s proposition that “photography converts the whole world into a cemetery,” I propose that my simulated replicants stimulate ideas around immortality not mortality. 

About the Artist

Rachel Hope Allan

Rachel Hope Allan is an artist, educator and writer from New Zealand currently based in Ōtepoti Dunedin. She is a Principal Lecturer and studio coordinator in Photography at New Zealand's oldest art school, Dunedin School of Art. Her complicated relationship with photography has had her hiding from mountain lions, x-raying New Zealand's most critically endangered native wildlife and developing tintypes in the basements of historic houses. Her practice extends from first-generation, traditional, darkroom-based processes through to digital and hybridised liquid photography.
