Supernatural Artificial examines the notion of artificial fabrication and staging in photo-based media. Presenting the work of nine leading Australian leading artists working in photography and video, Supernatural Artificial is a highly charged and moody exhibition which uncovers the un-natural and theatrical in contemporary photographic practice. Mixing equal parts fantasy and reality, each artist choreographs intense and strange scenarios, imbuing their images with unsettling drama and potency. Nine contemporary Australian artists deploy narrative tinged with psychological elements to create magical, supernatural and fake worlds.

Supernatural Artificial is a joint project of Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces and the Asialink Centre of The University of Melbourne, in partnership with The Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.

Supernatural Artificial is part of the Australia-Japan Art Exhibitions Program, an initiative of Asialink and the Australia-Japan Foundation. It is further supported by the Australia Council, the Australian Government's arts funding and advisory body, Arts Victoria and the Australian Embassy, Tokyo.
