Jesse Bercowetz creates large-scale installations that may make you feel a little queasy, as if you have just fallen down a rabbit hole of paranoia and conspiracy. A confounding assortment of objects mixes fantasy and reality in works that comment on the subconscious of contemporary America. His work often has apocalyptic undertones and awe-inspiring titles. Bercowetz’s art holds elements of the fantastical, the futuristic and the historical in its materials, design and ideas. Part mobile, part machine-like and completely entrenched in the contemporary psyche, Bercowetz’s work is mindful of humanity’s nature to be irrational, curious and visionary.
