Artist Julius von Bismarck's black and white photographic artwork, Punishment #7, showing a man cracking a whip into the waves at a stormy beach.
Until 14 Jun

Julius von Bismarck: This Is Not the Storm

  • Free
  • Art

ACCA presents 'This is not the storm', the first Australian solo exhibition by Julius von Bismarck.

Encompassing a major new kinetic sculpture, photography, and immersive video installations, this exhibition brings together more than two decades of work, much of it never before seen in Australia.

Accentuating the awe, wonder and terror that natural phenomena can provoke, von Bismarck constructs poetic, unsettling, and oftentimes absurd encounters that problematise our understanding of reality and our relationship with the environment. In doing so, he signals the disastrous consequences of humanity’s domination of the natural world in the age of the Anthropocene – prompting us to reconsider the logic and systems that have brought us here.

Curated by Dr Shelley McSpedden.

ACCA thanks the Goethe-Institut Australia for their support of this exhibition.
