Description

Portrait of a House – Signed Edition is inscribed with the signatures of Ian Athfield and Simon Devitt.

It is a photo book by photographer Simon Devitt in collaboration with graphic designer Arch MacDonnell (In-house Design).

The idea for the book came from Devitt’s admiration of Robin Morrison’s work and in particular Morrison’s 1978 photo book Images of a House about a William Gummer-designed house built in 1916. “A house is a pretty refined subject to make a book about,” explains Devitt. “It is not market driven, it is content driven and born out of passion. Life has happened there like in no other house, and the ‘living’ leaves its evidence, the time has played out on its surface. There is a lot to be said about sitting still and how that looks. The Athfield house is a wonderful example of this. An accessible counterpoint to a largely asset-based living that pervades New Zealand.”
