Bringing together 20 artists across a range of media, Emergent 2022 sees each artist use their unique style to explore relationships with oneself and others. Experiences of dysphoria and connections to the natural world are also prominent themes in this year’s exhibition. The Beheld by Amalie Roberts is beautifully animated work featured in the exhibition and in the Outdoor Screen program.

This program is a selection of Swinburne Film and Television Graduate films curated by Dr. Vincent Giarrusso that look on the bright side of life.

The world is not coloured. Colour is an experience, a sensory collision of interior and exterior worlds. These six films communicate beyond language, they dwell in the domain of affect. They gesture towards otherworldly landscapes and space-time configurations, celestial forms, sacred geometry and psychedelic optics. They conjure hypnotic realms through their amorphous use of colour, abstraction, and non-objective forms. Meditating on the cyclical rhythms of nature, exciting primordial sensations and synaesthesia. They flower and illuminate dormant places and spaces. To watch is to be radiant.
