Izaak Zwartjes
Rudiments of Territory
For his first solo show at Upstream Gallery, Zwartjes has build a monumental installation which best can be characterized as environmental, the podia on which episodes of a narrative take place. This new installation is constructed from damaged, half decayed materials and objects that Zwartjes collected during his journeys through the city. Together with a number of life-size figures, the found materials make up the decor for a mythological journey of self-destruction to rebirth in an apocalyptic tableau.
