Bruce Connew — folded eggs folded eggs is an artist's book by Bruce Connew — a quiet and considered meditation on history, memory, and place. Made during travels through Chile, from Valparaíso to Santiago, the publication brings together 53 colour photographs alongside a concise essay reflecting on the legacy of Salvador Allende and Augusto Pinochet, and their resonances with New Zealand's colonial history. As Connew describes: "folded eggs is an artist book, a modest meditation on history and memory, with 53 colour images made in Chile, from Valparaíso to Santiago, and a concise essay across Allende and Pinochet to New Zealand's colonial wars." Designed in collaboration with Catherine Griffiths, the book is an intimate and carefully crafted object, combining photography, typography, and bookmaking into a compelling artist publication.
