Photographs of 140 fictional missing people, all with their own backstories, make up the latest exhibition by Auckland mixed-media artist and poet Lyn-Marie Harris.
Missing will go on show at the upcoming Auckland Fringe Festival where visitors will be invited to have their photographs taken and added to the wall of faces.
Lyn-Marie tells Lynn Freeman that people from around the world contributed their selfies to the show, then she created stories about their lives and their last known whereabouts.
While many are lighthearted, the show also highlights the fact that many people do go missing. Missing opens at Beautiful Things Gallery on August 30. And a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to Youthline New Zealand.
