James Voller
James Voller’s practice blends public art installation and photography to explore architecture, landscape, and social histories. Since moving to Australia from New Zealand, he has created large-scale permanent and temporary artworks in urban and regional settings nationally and internationally. Using photography to create illusions in everyday spaces, his work sparks dialogue on climate change, urbanisation, and colonisation. James is particularly interested in how history, growth and architecture impact cities’ identities and the people who live in them. James’s installations are site-responsive and combine the latest architectural materials with public art concepts.
Voller holds postgraduate degrees from RMIT and Monash Universities. Career highlights include Streets of Gold at the Museum of London in 2012, and being selected for SWELL and Sculpture by the Sea exhibitions in 2023. In 2019, Voller founded Collide Public Art Initiative, supporting and expanding artists into the Public Art realm.
