Event Details
Architecture Makes Us is a major mid-career survey of the cinematic video works of Australian artists Sonia Leber and David Chesworth at Centre for Contemporary Photography (CCP). The works explore craggy geographies, territorialisation, surveillance, exhausted systems and future philosophies.
Bringing together six major video works by the collaborative duo, Architecture Makes Us explores craggy geographies, territorialisation, surveillance, exhausted systems and future philosophies. In this landmark survey commissioned by CCP, Leber and Chesworth offer a rich exploration of the way society is impacted by the geographical, technological and the architectural influences that surround us. These works point towards the architecture of our world in the broadest sense, examining structures both physical and invisible.
As part of Architecture Makes Us, CCP has commissioned Geography Becomes Territory Becomes, 2018; an 8-channel video installation exploring the island fortress of Suomenlinna in Helsinki. Finland.
Through these rigorous, politically engaged, and at times humorous video works, Architecture Makes Us encourages a deeper look at one of Australia’s most lauded mid-career artistic duos.
Curatorium: Naomi Cass, Pippa Milne and Madé Spencer-Castle
