DANIEL TEMESGEN | US
THURS 15 JANUARY – SUN 22 FEBRUARY
EXHIBITION
Born in Ethiopia and now living in Australia, Daniel Temesgen creates portraits that are intimate, luminous, and grounded in community. Focusing on friends and peers, he celebrates youth, friendship and the vibrancy of Black life in contemporary Australia, exploring layered identities and cultural richness through a personal lens.
Drawing on the visual language of fashion photography, including composition, light and colour, Temesgen transforms these tools into expressions of tenderness. His subjects appear in transitional spaces such as cars and shorelines: ordinary yet cinematic, capturing moments of movement, change and self-possession.
