About Me

Anthony Nero Scibelli is a photographer based in Wheatsheaf, a forest community near Daylesford in country Victoria. 

Anthony relocated from New York to Australia at the end of 2000 at the time presidential coup d'etat of George W. Bush.

My artistic life began at home with my photographer father and in his dark room. And upon graduation attended the Minneapolis College of Art.

I have been working with dead animals since 2007 that I find in and around the land here. This project began as Brief Life: The story of the Daylesford and Hepburn Fox. I discovered that the fox was an unwanted and unacceptable subject, even dead. The majority of my work has often been deemed confrontational. Including the nude human body (I find no naked statues in Australia, mostly men on horses) as well as images of the dead and death. Few non-military have ever seen a corpse or visited a corpse in a funeral setting. An inability to engage with death, certainly never interacting with a body. 

These must be excluded from our habitation zone. Instinctually, immediately and unquestionably.
