A view across Montreal Street to the Christchurch Art Gallery. The building was used as the headquarters for Civil Defence in the aftermath of the 22 February 2011 earthquake, and large white marquees have been set up in its forecourt to accommodate extra personnel. The site is surrounded by a safety fence. On the left is a sign advertising the "Van der Velden: Otira" exhibition, which was cut short by the earthquake.

Quake Makes World Headlines

Images, UC QuakeStudies

A stack of wooden frames with the words "Quake makes world headlines" written on the uppermost frame. The photographer comments, "This is a sculpture at the CPIT facility in Christchurch. It is a series of squares placed over a column with writing on the squares. It is an excellent movable sculpture that conveys the Christchurch earthquake very well. The squares are placed so that they can slide over each other and even fall inside the other on one side. It is a pity that only two sides of the squares are written on".
