Next date: Friday, 20 March 2026 | 11:00 AM to 04:00 PM

A new art installation developed through conversations and creative exchange with LGBTQIA+ community members in Kingston. Bringing together photography, sound and text, the exhibition reflects on how we experience and express identity — through our bodies, relationships, and the environments we move through.

The work creates a quiet, immersive space that considers visibility, care, and the subtle ways we hold one another in community. Developed collaboratively, Falling Into Light responds to lived experience in Kingston while continuing the artist's broader interest in portraiture, intimacy and the textures of queer life.

About the artist

David Rosetzky is an artist based in Naarm/Melbourne whose cross-disciplinary practice spans photography, video, installation and collaboration. His work explores identity, intimacy and LGBTQIA+ representation through layered, experimental processes.

Rosetzky has exhibited widely in Australia and internationally, and his works are held in major public collections including the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Museum of Australian Photography.

He has undertaken significant commissions, most notably his 2008 video portrait of Cate Blanchett for the National Portrait Gallery. Known for his nuanced, collaborative approach to contemporary portraiture, he continues to develop projects at the intersection of visual art, performance and community.

Call for participants

The artist invites LGBTQIA+ individuals who currently live or work — or who have previously lived or worked — in the City of Kingston to participate in a new photographic installation.

Developed through his MAGNIFY artist-in-residence, the work will be presented as a photographic and audio-based installation at Kingston Arts Centre in March 2026. It explores queer presence and the ways identity is expressed, embodied, remembered and situated within space and community.

Participants may choose their level of visibility — fully present, partially obscured, or anonymous. The project prioritises agency, respect, and collaborative representation.

Participation begins with a friendly, face-to-face chat about the project and your experiences or reflections. There’s no obligation to continue beyond this first meeting. Participation may involve being photographed (studio or on location), offering a short audio reflection, contributing a gesture or moment of presence, or optionally sharing a short written thought.

If you have a Kingston connection (past or present) and feel drawn to take part or learn more, please contact the artist via Instagram @davidrosetzky or via his website davidrosetzky.com
