Description
"I consider myself an escape artist. I hope to travel in the fifth dimension, speak unknown languages, discover the next stage in the evolution of thought. I build structural parables suggesting that the universe exceeds what we can explain about it."
— Peter Rose
"One of the characteristics of Peter Rose's work is to scrutinize the ability of cinema and video to create inherent and often paradoxical meanings without necessarily relying on narration. Regardless of the chosen medium (video, computer, film, 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 single meaning."
