LUCKY BOX a guide to modern living photographs by Harvey Benge ‘Benge loves to thrust you into no-go-zones... reminds you just how weird the world is when you really start paying attention.’ In his quest for the bizarre and the absurd, Harvey Benge continues to scavenge the urban landscape. Lucky Box – A guide to Modern Living is his fifth book and as always Benge thrives on the everyday moments of ordinary life, as he searches for the ambiguities and tensions that lie behind modern urban living. This is a journey of contrast and conflicts - frequently humorous and often deeply disturbing. |

| VITAL SIGNS Harvey Benge The photographs in Vital Signs have been made in Paris, London, Prague, Hong Kong and beyond. They engage both the eye and the mind inviting the viewer to examine their own experience of urban life and what that means to them. Benge questions the significance and substance of the many outwardly bizarre constructs that form the urban landscape. |

| NOT HERE, NOT THERE Harvey Benge Directed by signs, lights, warnings, we are encouraged to conform. But there are signs of dissent – small anarchies for the observant – unexpected intrusions by the untamed world into this controlled and controlling environment. Harvey Benge illuminates these intrusions, to offer up their mystery and their intrigue in ways which are at timeshumorous and at others deeply disturbing. Moving across continents – from New York to London, from Paris to Sydney – he maps out the ambiguities and tensions in the urban environment of the late twentieth century. Harvey Benge, lives and works in New Zealand though his photographs have been exhibited throughout the world and this is his third book. Peter Turner, who introduces the work, was formerly the editor of Creative Camera, which he established as the UK's leading photo magazine. |
