John Peralta Explodes Historic Technology into Three-Dimensional Diagrams — Colossal
SHARE

John Peralta, an artist based in Austin, has a unique approach to creating art by suspending individual components of historic gadgets on monofilament strings. He meticulously disassembles iconic technology like Rollieflex cameras and Singer sewing machines to create intricate, three-dimensional exploded diagrams using real objects.

Peralta’s inspiration stems from his childhood memories of exploring broken radios and tape decks with his brother. This curiosity led him to appreciate the inner workings of mechanical devices. Influenced by the mathematical drawings of M.C. Escher, Peralta transitioned from drawing with pencil and charcoal to creating art full-time.

His artwork showcases the history, function, and components of 19th- and 20th-century innovations. By deconstructing items like a Bolex 16mm camera or a Hammond Multiplex typewriter, he reveals the intricate mechanisms within. Each part is carefully strung up inside illuminated boxes, highlighting the beauty of these vintage objects.

While Peralta’s focus remains on antiques, he continually explores new methods and materials. One of his recent works, “New Abnormal,” features a 1980s boombox with tiny figures interacting with its wiring and surfaces.

In 2020, a Nashville hotel commissioned Peralta to create a large-scale installation of floating musical instruments for its lobby. Currently, he is working on a sculpture using the original guitar played by Robby Krieger on The Doors’ first album. Additionally, he is crafting a commissioned antique binnacle, a stand on a ship’s deck for navigational instruments.

Those in Los Angeles can view Peralta’s sculptures at an upcoming exhibition about Pacific Standard Time, opening on September 28 at The Loft at Liz’s. For more of his work, visit his website and follow him on Instagram for updates.
