Rachie Campbell - Portfolio Examples

01 Performance Arcade

I collaborated with VJ Cubeman to transform the nature, architecture, and water around the Performance Arcade site over five nights, bringing the ocean into dialogue with the built environment through my unique animation and graphics. My visuals rippled across boat sails, trees, and the outer wall of Te Papa Museum. Oceanic shapeshifter figures appeared throughout the work—from merpeople to scaly mythological Manaia—alongside mermaid imagery developed from a live photoshoot. Mahina-Ina Kingi-Kaui’s soundscape of splashing water, dolphin calls, and nguru (traditional nose flute) deepened the immersive atmosphere.

06 Cuba Street Times - As part of Parking Day

My CUBA STREET TIMES masthead design is influenced by the visual language of Cuba Street itself. I used fire-engine red to echo the iconic street signs on lower Cuba Street, and incorporated the star of independence from the Cuban flag — a symbol that appears throughout the street’s signage and identity. We printed live on Cuba Street using an 1855 letterpress, demonstrating traditional letterpress printing to the public. I’m a letterpress printer with The Tuatara Press Limited, based in Titahi Bay, Porirua.

09 L’AGE D’OR Internation Surrealistic Art Event, Barcelona & London

Venus Dentata and My Surreal Friends is a short video artwork inspired by the erotic, taboo-breaking energy of Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí’s L’Âge d’Or. It begins with a surreal oil painting merging a Venus flytrap and the mythic vagina dentata, then moves through shifting emotional landscapes of the female psyche — fear, desire, confusion..
