Composite Acts
2021
David Rosetzky’s enigmatic project Composite Acts traverses video, choreography, performance, set design and photography to explore non-binary identities and the relative and fragmentary nature of the self.
To produce the work, Rosetzky interviewed his collaborators about their personal relationships and family histories to devise a script that forms the nexus of the piece. The script is subsequently spoken, deconstructed, and integrated with choreographed movement enacted in dialogue with a suite of sculptural objects.
The exhibition also features a new series of colour photographs that draw upon the performative language and material of this collaborative project.
Composite Acts is an official exhibition of PHOTO 2021 International Festival of Photography. The project was developed with assistance from the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body. This exhibition is supported by a City of Melbourne Quick Response Arts Grant.
