Shuster + Moseley is a UK-based practice working in optical sculpture and durational light works.
Working through constellations of optical lenses and large-scale prismic glass sculptures, their practice is a sustained enquiry into 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.
Formed in 2010 by Claudia Moseley and Edward Shuster, the practice has created large-scale site-responsive works within sites of hypermediacy, including the Great Pyramids of Giza, Times Square, and Al Ula. Scientific collaborations include the Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham University, the Molecular Neuroscience Group at the University of Cambridge, and the UCL Faculty of Brain Sciences.
