A monumental global project from renowned artist Santiago Sierra comes together at Te Tuhi. Two years in the making, Destroyed Word involved the construction of 10 giant letters across 10 nations, each built from a product economically vital to the country in which it was made. Each letter was then spectacularly annihilated and recorded on film.

United as a video installation, the 10 films spell a word referencing the demise of the global economy.  Destroyed Word is internationally relevant and speaks to the state of our world today.

Opening celebration Sat 9 Mar 2pm.

Get to the opening for FREE on the Artbus, departing outside Artspace, 300 Karangahape Road, 1.30pm.
