What can a picture say about the unimaginable? in some smothering dreams takes our gaze to the First World War, where the official recorder Henry Armytage Sanders made the most extensive visual account of New Zealanders on the Western Front. Rather than an archive of slaughter, his work often shows the faces of men behind the lines and the landscapes left in the war's wake.

Using details from the original glass plate negatives, Camus Wyatt reimagines them as places of strange beauty, catching both a profound quiet and a looming sense of dread. With an essay by Deidra Sullivan on the history of the Sanders collection and the possible meanings of its reimagining, it is a moving contemplation of the pathways between image, archive, the lives of others, and the limits of our understanding.
