Form: Tanu Gego was born in Samoa and raised in South Auckland. Tanu is part of a large family with a diverse cultural background from around the Pacific. He has been commissioned as the artist for 2014 Auckland Festival of Photography Annual Fine Arts Commission by Sacred Hill.
Idea: Gego draws a unique perspective to create images concerned with issues of representation around Contemporary Pacific experiences. They examine facets of his own cultural heritage and look at aspects of identity, gender, sexuality and popular culture amongst Pacific Communities in which most of his models are identified as a transgendered, gay, strait in relation to their Gender and Sexuality.
