JAKE STARR

(b. 1998, Gadigal/Sydney)

Jake Starr is a research-based artist residing on unceded Gadigal land (Sydney, Australia).

Starr’s practice yearns across new media, sculpture, film and text, toward speculative post-human futures. Much of their process involves the collation and appropriation of often disregarded ideas, data and intelligences in order to formulate new and surprising relational ecologies.

Jake Starr holds a Master of Fine Arts from the National Art School (2024). Their work has been exhibited in galleries across Australia including Blindside, Schmick Contemporary, Rofe St and Tiles. They have received recognition through awards such as the 2021 Ellen Lee O’Shaughnessy Printmaking Award and the 2025 Gosford Regional Gallery Moving Image Art Prize. Their films have screened in programs internationally including Yung Nihilist (New York), Art + Film + Vienna (Vienna) and the International Experimental Film Festival (Athens). They have published texts with Un Projects, Pulp, Sent and Terra Firma. Based in Sydney, Australia, Jake Starr continues to develop a cinematic and material language which pushes beyond anthropocentric thought.
