Edgar Arceneaux: Shards – Mirrors of a Fractured World
68projects presents Edgar Arceneaux’s Berlin Art Week 2025 debut with “Shards,” featuring the Los Angeles artist’s haunting “skinned mirrors” series. Through painstaking process, Arceneaux removes reflective coating from used mirrors and transfers it onto canvas, creating fragile surfaces between shimmer and decay that evolve through oxidation and environmental exposure. These living works lose their reflective function, dissolving self-perception to open urgent questions around identity, power, and visibility. Arceneaux connects current U.S. political fractures, from ICE deportations to police violence, with present-day Berlin realities, creating powerful commentary on contemporary social upheaval.
The opening night performance extends his visual practice into performative realm, while his internationally exhibited work spans institutions from Whitney Museum to Hamburger Bahnhof, with pieces held in collections including MoMA and Deutsche Bank.
