With a career spanning 40 years, Anne Zahalka is one of Australia’s most highly regarded photo-media artists. Her work explores cultural and environmental points of tension, interrogating them with humour and a critical perspective. Her practice deconstructs familiar scenes, re-presenting them to allow for alternative narratives that reflect on cultural diversity within Australian society and the ecological impact of the global climate crisis.

A landmark artist in Australian contemporary art, the searching quality of her direct images deal with the history and culture of this country. Appreciated by audiences and curators alike, her work starts conversations.
