Peter Matai Johnston from Wharekaho. The artist specialises in conversational provocation, aiming to elevate the human experience by encouraging the creation of unorthodox thought patterns derived from extraordinary semantic interpretations. This pursuit is rooted in a personal journey to deepen consciousness and awareness, fostering a profound understanding of people and the universal “One Song” that connects all beings.
Their work often takes the form of multimedia creations, born from the unique context in which they are conceived. These pieces serve as a form of seduction, drawing participants into interactions that result in verbal and physical responses. These contributions then become integral to the evolving artwork, expanding its narrative and offering new material for exploration. This dynamic process provides a fertile ground for delving into the workings of the minds involved in the moment.
Above all, the artist views humans as the most fascinating art forms, best appreciated through the discipline of relationships. Believing that art is inherently a dialogue, they extend an open invitation for others to engage, observe, and even contribute to the unfolding narrative of their work.
