FILMS | SUBVERSUS

Subversus is a creative studio, artist collective and production house working across culture and commerce. We connect artistic practice and commercial opportunity, enabling work that’s ambitious and culturally sharp.

Founded by filmmakers, artists and cultural producers, Subversus was built from within these worlds. We understand commercial realities, their workflows, expectations and standards, because we work inside them every day.

Subversus acts as the bridge between artists and commercial partners, providing a support structure that protects the artist’s practice, serves the brief, and creates the conditions for shared authorship and collaboration. We make commercial production navigable for artists, and prioritise creative environments over traditional hierarchy. We work with artists who move across film, art, music, performance, fashion, installation, experiential and tech.

As a creative studio and production partner, we work alongside agencies, brands and cultural partners from concept through to delivery. Work is artist-led, brand-initiated, institutionally commissioned, or developed through independent practice and extended into commercial and public contexts.

Based in Sydney and operating globally, Subversus takes on unconventional briefs while honouring artist authorship and the ambitions of our partners.

We’re for agencies and brands seeking artist-led projects with cultural weight, for institutions exploring alternatives to traditional commissioning structures, and for artists whose work demands more room than a single category allows. Subversus is where artists and commercial partners meet on equal terms.

Subversus acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work, create and collaborate. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and recognise the ongoing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to land, culture and story. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and commit to working with care, respect and responsibility on this land.

SUBVERSUS INJURY

FILMS

with music

Eugene Leung and Dan Tse are pioneers in digital fashion filmmaking, creating Australia’s first CGI fashion show at Australian Fashion Week in 2021. The presentation marked a shift in how fashion, performance and virtual environments intersect, establishing CGI as a central creative tool within runway culture.

Their CGI film work has since received more than ten international film awards and spans four major works produced between 2021 and 2025: The Butterfly’s Dream(2021),Rare Reality(2022),0000(2023) and 55555(2024). Across these films, Leung and Tse explore themes of illusion, consciousness, synthetic intelligence, rebirth and the tension between human and machine. Each work builds a distinct cinematic world, moving between simulated and physical realities through speculative storytelling and digital craft.

Working in parallel under their digital art and music platform REAL PARENT, the duo create immersive films, sonic works and speculative digital environments presented across both virtual and physical contexts. Their digital art practice has been shown in solo exhibitions in Australia and Japan, and presented at venues and festivals including Machine Hall, The Tank at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, MODE Festival and Australian Fashion Week at Carriageworks.

REAL PARENT operates as an expanded artistic universe, where CGI filmmaking, digital sculpture, sound and performance converge.
