Sanche Zev (b. 1990, Boorloo | Perth) is a photo-based artist whose work spans photography,

print, sound, and artist books. His practice engages the imagination to challenge or rethink

contemporary notions of technology and art.


Through designing installations, Sanche takes a multidisciplinary approach to documentary

art as an entry point for creating narratives that explore our understanding of human

interaction and the landscapes we occupy. Working with experimental sound and listening

practices to evoke shared experiences has become a key part of his work, serving to cultivate

conversation and generate new ideas.


Sanche is deeply curious to connect with what is unfamiliar; this sense of wonder has

catalyzed his storytelling. His most recent project, “Must Be Somewhere” is a year-long

practice of eavesdropping on arid landscapes, which has evolved from his interest in our

connection to communication and the so called “Australian” desert.
