Inside Rooms Drift In And Out Of Sleep

In 2015, Martin Boyce presented a major exhibition at Galerie Eva Presenhuber in Zurich, featuring a suite of sculptural works that continued his long-standing exploration of modernist design, architectural fragments, and the atmospheric spaces between interior and exterior worlds. Many of the works from this period were fabricated in Jesmonite, sometimes combined with steel or aluminium.

The exhibition constructed an immersive sculptural environment populated with architectural motifs such as chimneys, vents, fireplaces, aerial forms and fragmentary structural elements. Boyce used Jesmonite to create softened, surreal reinterpretations of these components, allowing him to evoke the surfaces and atmospheres of built space while maintaining a dreamlike, almost theatrical quality.
