The State of L3 is an Amsterdam based art collective working internationally on art, multimedia exchanges, modern tendencies and political issues.
The State of L3 is currently working in Paris with Dimanche Rouge on Guzrora & The Electric Grid / Project Piertopolis

The images of Piertopolis comprises the photographic work of two of Guzman’s latest projects: the Bas Jan Ader, Paul Gilroy, Martin Kippenberger’s and Constant, inspired research project Piertopolis, and Guzman’s documentary trilogy The Day We Surrender to the Air. Both projects comprehend a search for a new (visual) definition of notions like migration, gravity, locality, ancestry and identity.
The performances and exhibitions of the project present Guzman’s ongoing research into DNA, movement and replacement. Focusing on the pier as both a means for connection and separation, Guzman tries to capture the ambivalences that surround the act of traveling. A pier suggests nostalgia and contemplation, as well as hope and relief. The DNA-like shape of a pier expresses change, improvement, and site-specificity.
