The exhibition showcases seven unique "cinematic worlds" developed by Waititi and his creative team. The project was produced at Studio West, an Auckland facility, where a Zeekr 7X was suspended to allow its lighting technology to shape each photographic frame. The resulting images explore diverse themes, including an alien encounter, a warehouse rave, a stylized feast, and a red-carpet event.

This collaboration serves as a creative launch for the Zeekr 7X in the New Zealand market, using the vehicle's functional features as artistic tools rather than traditional advertising. Titled works within the collection, such as "UFO," "Caveman," and "Sunburn," focus on the concept that significant ideas can arrive uninvited and unexpected. The exhibition highlights specific lighting techniques to create detail and mood without the use of artificial intelligence.

The physical gallery is open to the public with free entry for a limited four-day duration in September 2026. Following the close of the in-person event at Studio 230, the photographic collection is scheduled to be made available for online viewing starting from September 21.
