Orange Is the New Blueprint by Joel Potter - Aut University

This series shows the early stages of Auckland’s Future Rail Tāmaki Makaurau project, which will introduce new underground train lines to the city. This project aims to show the importance of the construction workers involved in making it a reality who often go unnoticed, recognising their role in the development, rather than seeing them as ‘interruptions’ in city life. Shot within active construction zones, the colour orange has been emphasised in the photographs to symbolically highlight their significance during the foundation stages of the project.
