Peter Cohen is a Johannesburg-based architect and artist with a meticulous examination of the interplay between interior and exterior spaces and how this shifts our understanding of reality. Through a methodical layering process, he constructs environments that challenge conventional understandings of spatial dynamics and the nature of human perception.
His imagery manipulates visual elements to prompt viewers to investigate the reliability of memory and its role in shaping individual and collective experiences. The artist achieves this through the act of dissolution – creating layered daydreams out of commonplace scenery where reality loses its definition, inside and outside become interchangeable and memory and truth are mirrored distortions.
