Architecture Makes Us: Cinematic Visions of Sonia Leber and David Chesworth

Architecture Makes Us is a major mid-career survey of the cinematic video works of Australian artists Sonia Leber and David Chesworth.

Commissioned by Centre for Contemporary Photography (CCP), the exhibition brings together several major video works by the collaborative duo exploring craggy geographies, territorialisation, surveillance, exhausted systems and future philosophies. In this landmark survey, 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.

A Centre for Contemporary Photography touring exhibition. Curators: Naomi Cass, Pippa Milne and Madé Spencer-Castle. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body. The publication Architecture Makes Us has been supported by the Gordon Darling Foundation.
