THE FIELD EQUATION

Daniel von Sturmer will create an active landscape of visual events and experiments in ACCA's huge commission hall. von Sturmer's practice draws on a range of media to experiment with the relationship between pictorial space, real space, and the recorded time and space created in moving images.
Daniel's current works are concerned with the apprehension of space and time, and the way in which video can render these malleable and elastic. Video is used to test propositions about what is real.
His videos feature everyday objects and materials assuming a visual order and stability that is then called into question. Reframing these elements within the context of the video frame, confounds the sense of space, scale and orientation, and points to the flexibility of perception. Aspects of modernism and minimalism, abstraction and still life, are also referenced and replayed to provoke a consideration of the visual language we rely on to describe and define the external world.
Daniel's works are a fabulous combination of scientific examination and sensory captivation. His works bring to life ideas of perception, painting, sculpture, kinetics and reflection.
