The art of Warwick Thornton draws from his acclaimed career as a cinematographer and award winning film director. In his art practice, Thornton is interested in negotiating the presence in contemporary landscapes, and traces within colonial history, of indigenous Australians. His oeuvre utilises photography, film and video to conceptualise time, space, identity, memory, and the social condition.
