Cerith Wyn Evans’s research focuses on language and perception, on the potential of the word and the communication, questioning our very notion of reality.In their elegance and formal balance, his works draw on a complex body of references and quotations, from literature, music, philosophy, photography, poetry, art history, astronomy and science, that are declined into new forms through an articulate process of transformation.
