About

Zack Handler is a Brooklyn-based multimedia artist interested in representing worlds that feel at once utopic and neptunian. In creating spaces that reflect boundless fantasy and somber interiority, Zack is possessed by the idea that emphasizing imaginal spaces can reawaken narratives for alternative futures.
