Wild New Zealand

Wild New Zealand – Lee Rapira Assemblage 2018

Wild New Zealand is about having complete access to native New Zealand on tap. An unadulterated measure of pure vitality. But the assumed free-for-all raises questions. Is it as simple as that? Can we take from a resource without question and is there enough for everyone and everything? What are the limits and what happens when the Wild New Zealand tap runs dry.
