Stephen Dupont: Piksa Niugini Portraits and Diaries

This project records noted Australian photographer STEPHEN DUPONT’s journey through some of Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) most important cultural and historical zones: the Highlands, Sepik, Bougainville and the capital city Port Moresby. 

Dupont’s work was conducted with the support of the Robert Gardner Fellowship of Photography from Harvard’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology. The publication consists of two books inside a special slipcase. The first volume is a collection of portraits reproduced in luscious duotone and 4 color; the second is an eclectic collection of the diaries, drawings, contact sheets and documentary photographs that Dupont created as he produced the project, which add to a broader understanding of the images in volume one.
