Anna Révész is an emerging, Adelaide-based artist whose practice encompasses drawing, painting and sculpture, with a particular interest in photography. Révész uses both digital and analogue photography to explore ideas relating to memory, such as how memories are created, sustained or reconstructed.
Révész explores the interchange between past and present moments and navigates spaces of instability and uncertainty. Révész allows room in her works for contemplation and reflection; a slowing down of pace that becomes an antidote to the fast-paced nature of modern existence.
“For this work, I collaborated with an emerging dancer, Darci O’Rourke (Australian Dance Theatre), to explore how, through movement, the body might reconstruct the spaces it has occupied or passed through. I have also used sculpture to navigate these spaces and take forms from the photographs that further explore the tensions between the transient, unsteady nature of memory, and the structured, material nature of built environments.”
