Book Launch: CIRCUIT: Dialogues in Artist Moving Image

Join Unity Books and Mark Williams, Director and founder of CIRCUIT Artist Moving Image, for the launch of Circuit: Dialogue in Artist Moving Image; a book that celebrates a decade of artist moving image production in Aotearoa New Zealand from 2015–2025.

At once an archive, survey, and richly visual publication, the book brings together 46 films commissioned through CIRCUIT’s annual programme, each developed through an extended dialogue between an artist and an international curator.

Designed by Eva Charlton, and generously illustrated with stills from each of the commissioned films, CIRCUIT: Dialogues in Artist Moving creates a vivid record of a decade of artist moving image practice in Aotearoa. Alongside the images the publication includes a text on each commissioned work, and essays from CIRCUIT curators based in UK, Asia, USA, Singapore, USA and Australia. A new essay by CIRCUIT Director Mark Williams reflects on the development of artist moving image practice in Aotearoa over the past decade, tracing the evolution of CIRCUIT’s international partnerships and their impact on the visibility of Aotearoa moving image practice locally, nationally, and internationally.
