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, presented by Centre for Contemporary Photography (CCP).

Bringing together six major video works by the collaborative duo, Architecture Makes Us explores craggy geographies, territorialisation, surveillance, exhausted systems and future philosophies. In this landmark survey commissioned by CCP, 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. Leber and Chesworth have been collaborating since 1996, and have been shown in key international exhibitions including the 56th Biennale of Venice (2015), the 19th Biennale of Sydney (2014); and a parallel exhibition as part of the 5th Moscow Biennale (2013).
