AOTEAROA - the land of long abiding Light

The Cassette

The cassette contains all 49 Terragraphics as well as some texts from the Aotearoa project.

These were printed by Ekkeland Götze himself in a provisionally installed printing shop in the Bay of Islands. The workshop was dismantled after the work was completed. In addition to individual sheets, the collection includes the three work groups TE ARA POUNAMU, KOKOWAI and RUAUMOKO, as well as various texts on the project and a list of excavation sites.

The Terragraphics in the size of 39 x 39 cm, were produced in a limited edition of five copies. 
3 copies are intended for sale.
Copy number 1 was returned to representatives of the Maori tribes on whose land the EARTH was obtained.
Copy number 5 is reserved for exhibitions.
Copies 1 and 3 were printed on Whatman 270 g paper,
copy 2 on Japanese paper, and copies 4 and 5 on BFK Rives 300 g.
All Terragraphics are signed with an embossed stamp, numbered on the reverse and marked with the excavating site number.
