Sam Gomez - Vertical Gallery
May
Sam Gomez's light box uses repeated transparencies of a night-time apartment building to invoke the ubiquity of modern life. This representation of a metropolitan nightmare is an allegory of modernization's reduction of the human individual to a unit within the codes of superstructures that dominate modern life. It deals with the co-existence of seduction and oppression found in modernization. Enchanting like glittering embers from a fire, or sparkling like a starlit sky, the windows simultaneously echo computer information, cursors, pixels and any other system of the technological world.
