At the Blue Oyster Gallery, artists Emma Bugden and Colin Hodson recorded in different ways the demolition of sections of central Wellington, planned since the 1960s. Public protests, rallies and marches have made certain houses famous, with painted lines indicating the proposed motorway's route through them. Hodson recorded the demolition of a block, including his house. Bugden, well aware that her small street was on the list, decided to record it before it went. The two films, of different lengths, were looped and projected side by side at the Blue Oyster.
