Moving brings together works by Australian artists exploring the dynamic intersection of water, performance and the moving image. The exhibition considers water as subject, medium and metaphor. It celebrates durational works that observe water’s capacity to carry emotion, hold memory and reflect lived experience.

The works featured utilise elements of performance art, through actions and perspectives that engage the body and time in unique ways. Artists embrace tenets of performance, with many directly featuring the body, voice, or gesture. Other works convey lived experience through language, layered imagery, and intimate visual detail that echoes human perception and sensory encounters.

In distinct and nuanced ways, the works in Moving reflect on our psychological and physical relationship to water, its capacity to erode, to heal, and to propel. The exhibition features key moving image works alongside photographs, textiles and paintings that crystalise moments, distil gesture and translate meaning across media. Presented together in an immersive installation, these works allow audiences to consider how water, like time and the moving image, is both transient and persistent.
