Darren Siwes is an Aboriginal photographic artist based in Adelaide who, by his own admission, does not feel connected with the culture of his ancestors, i Siwes's art works consists of nocturnal images of ethereal figures standing in recognisable locations around Adelaide, the UK and Perth, and which he creates using a method of double exposure photography:

He superimposes the ghostly figure of an Aboriginal man in a suit and tie standing in a pose that suggests both a physical resoluteness as well as a 'here I am' gesture of simplicity and vulnerability. The landmarks are focal points of local cultural and historical identity: the Old Gum Tree where the colony of South Australia was founded; the Festival Centre, symbol of the city's cultural ambitions; Mt Lofty House, a grand colonial relic of aristocratic privilege.
