Dallas Seitz unapologetically utilizes the poetry of objects to combine his interest in collecting, museumology, colonization, personal history, and the falsity of representation. The often-absurd works expose an awareness of the thinking process while recalling museum collections and relationships or narratives created by display.

Dallas Seitz – solo show at the Pumphouse Gallery, London “HUNTED (the cannibalism of colonial collectorexia)”.
Moving between the mediums of video, sculpture, drawing and photography Seitz investigates the processes of hunting and collecting as a form of colonization and obsession. Though the artist’s practice is largely conceptual, much of his work originates from the personal. Often drawing on his own family, upbringing, and memories Seitz moves towards psychological and political terrains - exploring the wider motivations, intentions and implications behind the act of collecting.

Dallas Seitz’s video and sculpture work uses colonization in various forms, as its starting point. From bone cells colonizing muscle cells to the father colonizing the son, up to the political colonizing the personal, the works become questions of positioning.
