Kid Zoom's newest work titled FINAL ACT is a continuation from his great project SUBURBAN, which he did last summer. SUBURBAN was based around the United States while for his newest project Ian Strange deconstructed four suburban homes in Chrustchurch, New Zealand. These were the homes affected by the 2011 earthquake and were located in the 'Red Zone' ( an area containing over 16,000 houses lined up for demolition). His process of deconstructing these homes was documented in video, still photography and in sculptures that came from the process of cutting up the homes. These are all on display as a part of the Rise Festival at the Canterbury Museum.
