Description
"I consider myself an escape artist. I hope to be able to travel in the fifth dimension, speak unknown languages, discover the next step in the evolution of thought. I build structural parables suggesting that the universe goes beyond what we can explain about it."
— Peter Rose
"One of the characteristics of Peter Rose's work is its scrutiny of the ability of cinema and video to create inherent and often paradoxical meanings without necessarily resorting to narration. Regardless of the chosen medium (video, computer, cinema, performance, etc.), his work compromises the idea of communication by disrupting the different systems put in place for each film or video. Through the proliferation, repetition, multiplication, and segmentation of images, texts, discourses, or alphabets, he explores our capacity to produce a unique meaning."
— Yann Beauvais
