Daniel von Sturmer (born 1972) works with a range of media to explore the relationship between depicted and real spaces, and between expectation and perception. Using everyday objects, he creates visual artist experiments in which he plays with gravity and weightlessness, motion and stillness, to deliberate on how we see and what we see. In Painted Video (2009) the viewer sees paint being poured out in concentric circles to create a series of tonal targets. It is the paradoxical and changing nature of the images that attracts—they are both paintings and videos, finished artworks and work in progress, extended performances and still lifes, abstract and figurative art.
