Leon Cmielewski & Josephine Starrs



The First Wave, Documentary, 2008

Downstream, 2009
Digital video and digital print installation

A poignant portrait of the ‘mighty’ Murray River, Australia’s largest river, relentlessly drained from its natural flow, sickened by agricultural development and dried up by a decade-long drought—the local consequence of global warming.


Cmielewski and Starrs are media artists whose long-term collaboration has produced a variety of screen-based installations. Their artworks are situated at the juncture of cinema, information visualisation and data mapping, playing off the tensions between the large and small screen, information and sublime landscape.
