In Lost in Space, Alicia Piller constructs a material cosmology where history, identity, and erasure orbit one another in constant motion. Long invested in cellular biology as a metaphor for trauma, repair, and continuity, Piller turns outward toward the universe—using the cosmic as both mirror and measure of the human condition. The exhibition considers what it means to be “lost,” not only within the infinite expanse of space, but within the fractured landscapes of American memory, cultural visibility, and historical accountability.
