This isn’t a race against the clock ... this is a rebellion!
Join tasheart through a visual and tactile storytelling journey through an immersive studio art experience for all age groups.
Against the Clock explores the perception that time is not measured by chronographs but by moments in life – finite and precious.

First glimpses through state highway 5 – the portal into Rotorua is one minute of pure magic through a moving capsule. Road trips shared, a road we converge. The signal to home, the signal of nearing. This forested tunnel means slowed speed, a sigh of relief, and a breath of green air.

From a taster of rotorua, next come soaring, plummeting, rushing plunges. Diving head first through this flavoured landscape and embracing fizzing waters. The Kaituna river features adventure, adrenaline, kaitiaki, and history for those who set foot.

In an increasingly digital world, capturing these encounters have become effortless. Art represents inward significance to savour and collect memories in the rhythm of time.
Inspired by the expression and philosophy of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, an artist who painted spirals against the direction of the clock and believed straight lines are not sacred, this exhibition explores unconventional viewpoints with a profound respect for the Aotearoa nature, using colours to capture frames of mind.
