Daniel von Sturmer’s video art: A delightful play on perception

Australian artist Daniel von Sturmer treats the video screen as if it were a canvas. Making small sculptures, paintings or drawings for the camera, he uses its flattening effect to play with our perceptions in subtle, often delightful ways. His largest U.S. exhibition to date at Young Projects is an exploration of the properties of everyday materials as well as the boundaries of the video medium.
