Looking over container shops at Re:Start Mall, in the background is a carpark being deconstructed.
A large chess board made from sand and broken shells, with a painted beach scene on the wall behind. The photographer comments, "After all the suggestions put on the wall on what to do in this area, which was once an earthquake damaged shop, they have made the chess board, painted a seaside scene on the wall and created a small wall of tyres".
Shops on Ferry Road, across the road from the demolition site where the Gap Filler Piano Project is.
The vacant lot left after the demolition of a block of shops at 461-469 Colombo Street, Sydenham.
Shoppers and sightseers in Re:Start Mall. Street lights have been decorated with banners with Canterbury colours, red and black.
A digitally manipulated image of a damaged wooden wall. The photographer comments, "And the walls came tumbling down".
A digitally manipulated photograph of a shop security shutter. The photographer comments, "Sometimes before you feel the ground rolling any metal shutters around start their rattling noises as if someone is shaking them".
View of the corner of Montreal and Victoria Street. In the background is a vacant lot left by buildings that has been demolished, and on the right is Gordon Smith & Sons fruit and vegetable shop.
View down Papanui Road. Some road works ahead with a sign that says 'Extreme Care Cyclist Merging' and 'Footpath closed please use other side'. On the left is a shop operating out of a shipping container in a site where a building has been demolished.
Pipes lead into a shipping container. The photographer comments, "In Christchurch containers are so very versatile: They are used as barricades, supports, homes, shops, art galleries, artworks, Malls, pubs and bars, Thai takeaways and now sewage works".
The feet of a fallen mannequin rest against a shop window. The photographer comments, "It is enough to make your toes curl. This is a mannequin that has been on its back since this clothing store was cleared out after the Christchurch earthquake. The store, which is in the earthquake red zone, has been off limits and untouched in the for two years".
A small wooden cross is inserted between stones laid out in the shape of a large cross. The photographer comments, "This is an Earthquake Memorial on Manchester Street, Christchurch, New Zealand. This message is on the tree next to the memorial: 'Earthquake Memorial. 185 people died as a result of the 22 February 2011 earthquake. 185 precious lives are remembered here, with 185 pieces of Halswell stone recovered from St Luke's Church, damaged beyond repair on that day. May they rest in peace. St Luke's in the City'".
A digitally manipulated image of a shop window. A vase is visible in the window, and the sillhouette of a mannequin in the background. The photographer comments, "The title came from the pot and the E on the window. This is a building that has been off limits since the Christchurch earthquake. The E was sprayed on the window by rescue teams after searching the building and finding it was empty. This is a very old wooden building that looks OK from the front, but terrible from the side as the previously adjoined building has been demolished.
Under the caption 'Best value for money?' is a football stadium displaying a red cross. From within a voice proclaims the advantages of having a combined covered stadium, hospital and blood bank.
Under CERA, the Christchurch Central Development Unit had planned for a covered sports stadium, with attached facilities and shops as one of the key sites in the Christchurch rebuild after the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. The 'blood bin' refers to the recent practice in rugby of sending off players with flesh wounds. There were also plans for a new hospital.
