‘ With Gregory O’Brien as guest editor, Sport 15 takes the form of a succession of visual and written road works, with a collective focus on journeys through childhood and along New Zealand's highways… Visual centrepiece is the series of eerily arresting photographs that make up Peter Black's 1987 portrait of New Zealand from the road, Moving Pictures. It's a portrait whose effect, according to Ian Wedde, goes beyond the vicarious to take us back to the ‘learning-to-see of children” Such a description might also apply to much of the poetry and prose sitting alongside Black's images.
