Eric Zamuco (b. 1976, Manila) received his MFA from the University of Missouri in 2009. Having relocated from Manila to Missouri in 2005, to Massachusetts in 2009, and back to Manila in 2012, Zamuco's body of work has been about filtering his own displaced experience. His subject matter runs the gamut from notions about home, belief, identity, postcolonial narratives, to the need for reclamation of space. The works, which are of a diverse range of media, include sculpture, installation, photography, drawing, video, and performance. They not only serve as social commentary but also as self-critique. The intention in transforming the commonplace is to pull the immaterial from banality and possibly find knowledge for some kind of human order.
