About Me

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

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 am sharing some of my least appreciated collections in this space.

Feedback is welcome.

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 unacceptable subject of art, even dead! (see Brief Life Collection).

Sometimes my work has been deemed confrontational. Including the nude human body. And I found no naked statues in Australia, primarily men on horses.

(see The Gift Collection)

Another  collection of my images (Funeral for a Rat) is a subject few can enjoy, Dying, the dead and death itself.

Few non-military have ever seen or handled a corpse.

I am offering to you this vision of dissolving into a fragrant and earthy canvas.  I hope that in time, my art and some universal acceptance; even Awe in the presence of death may come about.
