Anna Schwartz AO, Founder of Anna Schwartz Gallery, said: “Anna Schwartz Gallery is proud to present the latest development in the practice of Daniel von Sturmer: a series of highly refined, indefinable works on the walls of the gallery. This is the 9th solo exhibition of Daniel von Sturmer with the gallery and a great opportunity for audiences to see the fascinating progression in the work of this major artist.”

Daniel von Sturmer has an enduring interest in the devices associated with image-making, particularly in photography and video. These new works use an intentionally invisible trope of photographic vernacular (the graduated background) and render it concrete as a philosophical object. Entities that resist categorisation hold their potential, keeping easy apprehension at bay.
