These ‘beings’ are part of artist Dustin Yellin‘s series
Psychogeographies. The figures are life size – six feet tall – and
pinned between several layers of glass. Yellin pieces together
thousands of old clippings onto layers of glass to create a sort of
three dimensional collage. When the layers are stacked together a
figure seems to emerge and float within the block of clear glass. The
sculpture clearly requires an immense amount of work and is lovingly
constructed. However, there is also a certain cold taxonomy to the
series. The figures appear to be sunken into the glass to be studied as
biological curiosities, alien specimens. Psychogeographies strikes an
interesting balance in this way between inside and out, the personal and
objectivity....by Danny Olda HF
