ADDITIONAL ASSETS | 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.

Additional Assets - Photographs by Filmmakers is an ongoing exhibition series curated and hosted by VERSUS that showcases original photographic works by directors and cinematographers - presenting still imagery that sits beyond commercial briefs and moving image work.

The inaugural exhibition opened at m2 Gallery, Sydney in April 2024, featuring original photographic works by 29 of Australia’s most compelling established and emerging filmmakers. The show drew A 500 + strong attendance on opening night and went on to become one of the most visited exhibitions in Australia that month. Following its success, Additional Assets returned to m2 Gallery from 23–26 October 2025 with an expanded lineup of 50 local and international filmmakers, including Justin Kurzel, Mandy Walker, Glendyn Ivin, Marco Prestini, Lucy Knox, Bonnie Elliott, Stefan Duscio, Aaron McClisky and more, presenting work born from personal projects, on set moments and creative explorations beyond motion picture production.

Limited edition prints by exhibiting artists and a limited edition zine featuring last year’s works were available for purchase exclusively at the gallery. Designed as a platform that celebrates the visual versatility of filmmakers and fosters community around creative crossover, Additional Assets highlights the depth and diversity of image making practice within the filmmaking community.
