Peter Sarkisian

Red Cutless (Registered Driver Flat Series)

A sleek red cutlass car is rendered in crisp, flat graphic style, its bold form suggesting both retro nostalgia and contemporary design sensibility. Embedded within the work, a Sony PSP video player introduces a looping moving image element that disrupts the stillness of the printed surface, collapsing the boundary between static and kinetic media. Sarkisian's piece exemplifies his ongoing investigation into the tension between the physical and the digital, using consumer technology as both material and conceptual tool.
