Shuster + Moseley | Light Installation & Optical Sculpture

Shuster + Moseley is the London-based practice of Claudia Moseley and Edward Shuster exploring the dual nature of light - at once physical and psychophysical - through a sustained enquiry into the phenomena of mediation, exposure and spectrality. Through constellations of optical lenses and large-scale prismic glass sculptures, their practice engages light’s pharmakological potential to fragment and dimensionalise experience. Within a context of attentional conditioning and mediated saturation, their work suspends the lens and screen as interfaces of perceptual enframing, deconstructing the photographic apparatus to create instruments of spectral articulation and durational environments of exposure. The duo began their collaboration in 2010 after meeting on a tree-dwelling protest site. Their early work, exhibited in squats and interstitial spaces, initiated an ongoing experiential and environmental enquiry into technological mediation of experience. Expanding the scope of intervention, they have since created large-scale, site-specific works within sites of hyper-mediacy.
