Amos Gebhardt

Amos Gebhardt is Guest Curator for the 2021 iteration of Chamber Made’s Hi-Viz working alongside Stéphanie Kabanyana Kanyandekwe and Aviva Endean.

Gebhardt brings a cinematic force to large scale, moving image installations and photography, collaborating with performers, choreographers and musicians. Exploring intersections between culture, nature and the body, Gebhardt animates both human and non-human narratives in their study of the brutal, ephemeral and interdependent nature of being.

Gebhardt was the recipient of the inaugural Adelaide Studios Artist Residency (2019), presented by the South Australian Film Corporation. The resulting moving image work Small acts of resistance premiered at Samstag Museum of Art and the Adelaide Film Festival in 2020. Family portrait, from the related photography series, was a 2020 Bowness Photography Prize finalist.

Recent works also include the video installations Lovers (2018) and Evanescence (2018), both selected for the 2018 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art, and There Are No Others (2016) presented at Gertrude Contemporary, Melbourne.

A Masters graduate of AFTRS, Gebhardt’s work has also been exhibited at M+ Museum, Hong Kong; ACMI, Melbourne; MONA, Hobart; Monash Gallery of Art, Melbourne, Carriageworks, Sydney, both Melbourne International and Sydney Film Festivals and screened on SBS and ABC. Gebhardt created visuals for Kate Miller-Heidke’s 2016 Helpmann Award-winning concert with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra at Hobart’s MOFO Festival.

Gebhardt directed Second Unit on Justin Kurzel’s Macbeth (2015), starring Marion Cotillard premiering in competition at Cannes Film Festival.
