Marcel Dzama's limited edition lithograph Redemption in Moonlight (2025) is now available, with all proceeds benefiting Performa.
In this lithograph, a solitary boy sits atop the head of a statuesque goliath, which floats in a purple sea. In the sky above, a smiling moon—reminiscent of the iconic lunar face in Georges Méliès’s 1902 film A Trip to the Moon—casts its gaze upon the scene. This work relates to The end of gods and monsters (2024), a drawing featured in the artist's 2025 solo exhibition at David Zwirner Los Angeles. The show presented works depicting fantastical visions of a world where animals, anthropomorphized creatures, and dancing figures appear against dense junglescapes and expansive skies. This print and the drawing use allegory as a critical means of commenting on growing threats to democracy and human rights. Evoking a sense of joy and wonder, these scenes suggest hope and possibility during times of unrest. All proceeds from the sale of Redemption in Moonlight (2025) go to Performa, a New York–based organization dedicated to supporting the performing arts. In 2023, Dzama was commissioned by Performa to create a film and performance; the resulting work, To live on the Moon (For Lorca), premiered at that year's Performa Biennial at the Abrons Art Center in New York.
