Christchurch, as photographed by the people who live in it.
Every time someone reports a problem to the council they usually take a photo. Nobody ever looks at them again. There are 384,000 of them, broken footpaths, dumped couches, flooded gutters, tagged fences, fallen trees. An accidental decade-long portrait of a city, one annoyance at a time.

Yes, the council’s record is the source, but if one of these is yours and you would rather it were not here, say so and it comes off the wall.
Because they are what the city actually looks like between the postcards, Christchurch as its residents photographed it.
