Featuring new commissions by Louie Zal-Kneale, Gabriel White and Jamie Berry, Anaerobic Video looks at the nature of the commons, addressing e-scooters, Matariki, and the open spaces of work and the city.

Other video works in Anaerobic Video trace departures and returns, from the daily commuter climb up Masons steps, to the sweeping migration of birds from coast to coast.

Anaerobic Video is presented at Te Matatiki Toi Ora and features works by artists with connections to Ōtautahi Christchurch, including Canterbury artist and lecturer John Chrisstoffels, and former residents Bena Jackson and Claire Harris.
