Yuki Kihara’s Paradise Camp reflects on pertinent local and global issues from the unique perspective of Fa'afafine – Sāmoa’s third gender community to which she belongs.

Curated by Natalie King, Paradise Camp was shot and filmed on location in Upolu Island, Sāmoa, featuring a local cast and crew of over 80 people.

Paradise Camp comprises a suite of twelve tableau photographs in saturated colour; a five-part episodic talk show series whereby a group of Fa‘afafine comment wittily on select Gauguin paintings in First Impressions: Paul Gauguin interspersed with footage from Fa'afafine beauty pageants..
