23, 24, 25…Life U-Turns…Fate? Pepa Torre

Photographer. Dancer. Singer. Connector. Immigrant. Radio Host. Spanish-kiwi. People lover. Story-teller. Flamenco enthusiast… and much more. Meet the talented artist Pepa Torre and get ready to be provoked by her multimedia installation, 23, 24, 25…Life U-Turns…Fate? Dive into the immersive photo cube, for the first time ever.

You are invited to join Pepa for an intimate conversation as she reflects on her unique 360o life journey from Spain to New Zealand, through 25 years of exploring through time and generations. Pepa explains “I believe in our individual multi-uniqueness which interconnects with each other’s personal multi-uniqueness’s. In this project, I dare to demonstrate that digging into our many definitions of self, we will always find something in common with any other person in the room. I believe that deep inside it all, our main human seeds are very similar to each other’s”.

The artist’s immersive cube explores identity, culture, social and personal transformation, and questions what really matters, step inside a multi-media 3D collage, one of her favourite story-telling techniques. In 23, 24, 25…Life U-Turns...Fate? Pepa examines themes central to our multicultural community, going an extra step by questioning the public about their own lives and thoughts. She invites all visitors to connect and share their views and thoughts, considering the challenges – in the artists own words – “of being from here and from there and still not from here nor from there”.

This exhibition has been passionately curated by Pepa Torre with the help of Morrinsville Gallery curator Elizabeth Borrows and supported by the MPDC Creative Scheme.
