ARTIST STATEMENT

Zac Hacmon is an installation artist and a sculptor; In his work, Hacmon explores sociopolitical conflicts through architecture. Through large-scale interactive installations, his work gives viewers access to sites that are usually rejected or hidden from public perception. Hacmon investigates the use of architecture as a tool for division or as a measure to generate identity. His sculptures and installations deal with the relationship between architecture and the human body. Hacmon is interested in how the dichotomy of private and public can be reconfigured into an autonomous object. With acts of construction and deconstruction, Hacmon creates objects and fictional environments that allow him to question social conventions and to form a new type of architecture, a non-declared one, with a call for use and yet no clear function.
