the timing of this work is not accidental. pejac presents it almost one year to the date since the unprecedented ‘world scientists’ warning to humanity: a second notice‘, a letter issued and signed by 15,000 scientists from around the world in november 2017.
this motif was last seen at his latest solo exhibition where the very same stone well was installed atop a water barge moored on the seine in the heart of paris. with ocean waves hitting it, birds flying around and curiously examining it, and big industrial ships passing close by (all of which are recurring motifs in artist’s oeuvre), the alarming unedited footage capturing this piece in situ continues his video work introduced with the short movie heavy sea from 2016.
continuously working towards pointing out at the frightening pace at which humans are irreversibly affecting the planet, pejac once again steps away from his easel and studio to create a surprising, reality-twisting intervention.
