The Last Rivers Song is a photographic project by Lloyd Godman, based on the Clutha and Kawarau Rivers before the filling of the high dam at Clyde

the project was made up of two components: large composite photo murals up to 20ft long and smaller photo - panels. The work was followed up with 2 performance works 10 years later during the filling of the hydro lake.

The project is dedicated to all free flowing rivers where ever they may be

 

 

From 1984, this series of images in the panel was shot with a special 72 frame 35mm film - Ilford HP5 Auto winder, during the re-scanning process in 2011, a scan was made of all images shot and a B&W video created from the sequence of 35mm frames.
