How to Disappear w/ Steve Carr: 1st August, 2025

How to Disappear is an exhibition by multidisciplinary Ōtautahi-based artist Steve Carr currently on at Gow Langsford Gallery. 

In a body of work composed of photographs, a moving image work, and sculpture, Carr stages a series of failed attempts at disappearance – reminding us that no matter how much we try to hide, something in us always remains visible. 

Seen crouched and stood behind invisibility shields, bushes, trees, and coloured smoke bombs, Carr repeatedly fails to camouflage himself – giving the works a certain absurdity and comedic quality that has been a recurring theme in Carr’s practice.

Sofia caught up with Steve Carr about the making of How to Disappear and his creative process.
