Walter & Zoniel

Walter & Zoniel are a young, London-based, artist duo. They work within the mediums of installation, sculpture, photographic process, film and performance. Their work focuses on visually charming and enticing the viewer into thought and momentary escapism, whilst dealing predominantly with the human condition, evoking a relationship and questioning between all the elements involved.

Multi-disciplinary in their practice, the central themes to their work come from a meditation upon our existence and reflection of the intricacies of the relationships we each have with one other and with the natural world around us. Elements of Walter & Zoniel’s work have also centered on utilizing scientific process and pioneering the modern development of early photographic techniques. Devoid of the overwhelmingly polished look of a contemporary photograph, their evolved ambrotypes, tintypes, salt prints and pigment prints are not only labored with the marks of their own hand making, but also capture the life of the subject in an unparalleled way.

Walter & Zoniel have shown their unique multimedia work at Gazelli Art House, London, Palazzo Bembo, 2015 Venice Biennale, Tate Britain, London, Soho Revue Gallery, London, and Cob Gallery, London, among others. In 2014 Walter & Zoniel were nominated for the Paul Huf Award. In October 2015, the duo produced Prelude To Spectra, a site- specific public performance for Art Silicon Valley in San Francisco.
