These large inkjet prints of landscapes around Dunedin have been distorted to provide a surprising look at familiar locations.

From the press release:

Chris Reid photographs the landscape as he experiences it. Distorted proportions exaggerate the viewers' emotional response. His romanticists' lens displays the local environment as a towering, Tolkienesque world of fjord like waters and barely dormant volcanoes. The city is seen as a gothic toytown, as disturbingly familiar as it is strangely beautiful.
