About the Project
Charlotte Sunde used a solar powered 12 volt battery and an inverter to power a data projector displaying a poetic work about whio (the native blue duck) that only live in healthy, fast-running rivers and so are an indicator species of wild freshwater ecosystems. It was projected at night from a footbridge onto vegetation and a stream the flows through Parihaka Pa.
