David Rosetzky

David Rosetzky (b. 1970) is a Melbourne-based contemporary artist working across the media of photography, video and installation. Rosetzky’s black and white photographs and double exposures often allude to different psychological and emotional states, identity and selfhood. He is known for the elegance and aesthetic rigour of his art, which often draws upon the visual languages of contemporary advertising and cinema. Rosetzky has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Australia and internationally, including How to Feel at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, 2011; the third ICP Triennial of Photography and Video, International Centre for Photography, New York, 2009; Viewpoints & Viewing Points: Asian Art Biennial, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, 2009; and Face Up, Hamburger Bahnhoff, Berlin, 2003. He was awarded the inaugural Anne Landa Art Award for Moving Image and New Media Art, Art Gallery of New South Wales in 2005. His work is held in regional and state gallery collections across Australia. His digital video portrait of Cate Blanchett was commissioned to coincide with the opening of the new National Portrait Gallery building in 2008.
