Daniel von Sturmer has two works in On Reason and Emotion - The Truth Effect at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and a new site specific work at the Museum of Sydney.
Art Gallery of New South Wales

The Truth Effect involves a large table-like structure with five video projections. The table acts as a reference to a picture plane extended into real space, and as a framing device within architecture of the gallery. Developed from tests constructed in the studio with apparently banal objects such as plastic cups or rolls of tape, the videos confound our perception and expectation of space, materials and the properties of objects. Through this series of experiments we are encouraged to see the unfamiliar in the familiar, and to consider the relationship between the apprehension of visual experience and art's representational language.

Museum of Sydney
At the Museum of Sydney another video installation, created specifically for the windows of the museum's Viewing Cube. Viewed from outside the museum after dark, the work redefines the space by engaging a visual field that spans two facets of the cube's surface. Following from The Truth Effect, this new work also plays on shifts in scale, spatial interplay and pictorial representation. As in most of von Sturmer's work, this piece dismantles the various framing devices that seem to separate the audience from the art object/experience, a gallery from its surroundings, and art from everyday life.
