NEOLITHIC | 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.

NEOLITHIC

NEOLITHIC is a contemporary homage to Neolithic architectural marvels such as Stonehenge, merging ancient design principles with modern technology. The large scale installation reflects humanity’s enduring pursuit of cosmic connection, echoing the intent and presence of prehistoric structures.

Constructed from hyper brilliant LED mesh woven across modular truss, the work animates geometric patterns inspired by ancient art, bridging past and present. A suite of audio visual sequences expresses the primitive elements of air, fire, wind, and water, drawing on ancient mythology to deepen the sense of ritual and connection.

Powerful moving headlights project transcendent beams skyward, situating the audience within a shared ancestral relationship to the cosmos. As time seems to dissolve, NEOLITHIC becomes a meditation on human curiosity, connection, and creative ingenuity. More than an artwork, it stands as a relic of the future, where ancient intelligence converges with contemporary innovation.
