Sayre Gomez in conversation with Hamza Walker
In a new video filmed in the artist’s studio, Gomez discusses his latest exhibition True Crime.
The promise of California is really embedded in these works. It’s very specific to a kind of escapism, “Let’s go to California where everything is going to be better.” There is a false promise happening here and a hopelessness that I think is punctuated pretty profoundly.
This video was made in accordance with the exhibition True Crime (2021).
