Christian Bishop (b. 1973 Australia) lives and works in Melbourne. Bishop is an Honours graduate of RMIT University.

Bishop is a multidisciplinary artist who works broadly across photography, printmaking, sculpture, film and sound. Bishop’s artwork materialises as installations, interventions and site activations exploring notions of place, landscape and human agency. Bishop is also one half of duo Exogamy and Bacchus Harsh.

Bishop’s artwork serves as a platform to examine human relationships with the landscape. Bishop’s work seeks to understand the fraught social fabric of our cities driven by the effects of population growth and the problematics of speculation driven property development.

Bishop’s work explores the loss of spiritual connection with a post colonial landscape and the resulting anxiety of place. Bishop questions how do we identify with our surrounding landscape when it is in continual flux and upheaval?

Bishop’s interpretation of his experiences are reflected as immersive installations. The intimate nature of viewing is often manifested as interventions in the gallery spaces they are exhibited or as site activations in the landscape itself.

Since 2009 Bishop has been exploring feeling and the landscape, its boundaries and the liminal city across Melbournes inner west. Engaging with local spaces, their narratives through personal experiences, communities, groups and organisations in the possibilities of neglected, overlooked and traumatic places.
