Artist Talk: William Versace – Relics of Tomorrow, Unearthing Post Humanism

Using the aesthetics of seduction, Versace creates objects that are glistening, polished and conventionally beautiful, to draw the audience in and expose the ugly remnants of human obsession with consumerism. His artworks are our physical legacies, our fossilised waste, through forms of fractured crystals and melting sedimentary rock. By collaborating with the environment, his work raises questions about how far an artist is willing to relinquish themselves from the process – opening a dialogue of collaboration with other species, de-centring the human, and their dominance.
