Justin Peyser

Justin Peyser graduated at Harvard at the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies. From the beginning, he was interested in space in relation to architecture and in particular, to the suburbs and urban areas in disuse. The exhibition features sculptures conceived as testimony and remains of our whirling civilization. A distant echo of what we have heard and seen, which in the end is what survives concretely of our experiences and our technological prostheses.

These sculptures are created with sheet metal held together with rough welds that leave visible burn marks from the torch, because – as Peyser reminds us – wandering in the diaspora leaves scars. The vessels are hollow and tilting to one side as if their imbalance represents suspension between two countries.
