About
Daniel Crooks
Biography
A pre-eminent figure and authority in his field, Daniel Crooks has spent his career crafting a distinct visual language unique to his practice. Working predominantly in video, photography and sculpture, Crooks is preoccupied with time and motion in an altered state.
Crooks is a careful observer of the everyday through a lens that splinters and refracts. His treatment of time is non-linear, pliable and warped. Within Crooks’s video work, our perception of space does not remain in a solid-state. Like many scientists and philosophers, Crooks is fascinated by the potential of a fourth dimension to the human existence. His works are a suggestion of what it might be like to experience the world beyond three spatial dimensions with a fourth dimension that is temporal: the dimension of time.
Crooks’s technique is the result of rigorous exploration and experimentation throughout his career, with the artist repeatedly examining and altering the same subject matter through new perspectives.
His recent public projects include Boundary Conditions, Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney, 2022; Structured Light, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, 2022; Water Clocks, 2022, Murdoch University, Perth; and Phantom Ride, Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne, 2016.
Daniel Crooks’s works are included in significant international collections and institutions including National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; M+/Museum of Visual Culture, Hong Kong; Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne; Museum of Old and New Art, Hobart; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; and the Chartwell Collection, Auckland.
