This event has ended.

Y Gallery presents The Bunker Project, a site-specific installation by PS3* aka (Pedro Sanchez3). Bunkers and prisons are presented to society as solutions for combat and survival. Building the Bunker Monument Model in Y Gallery serves as a way of critically thinking about the human condition. What does it mean to coexist with a system that proposes the imprisonment of freedom? A real living component defines the marginal boundaries of our existence. What are the effects of living encapsulated? The Bunker Monument Model generates a poetic space where the fragile materiality of the sculpture reminds us of our own vulnerability. PS3* aka (Pedro Sanchez3) has been working for over two decades on huge site specific installations developed from an early engagement with paintings and sculptures. The work will be on view at Y Gallery for one week as part of his work in progress, The Bunker Monument.
