Christophe Domergue’s Vestige Exhibition

This September, Australian artist Christophe Domergue unveils Vestige, a compelling site-responsive exhibition at Precinct 75 in St Peters. Opening Night on Wednesday 10 September the exhibition runs through to 11 October, inviting audiences into a space where architecture, memory, and material collide.

Held within the former Taubman’s Paint Factory, now home to Precinct 75 – a vibrant creative precinct in Sydney’s Inner West – Vestige transforms the building into both subject and medium. Domergue has developed a unique “peeling” technique using fiberglass and resin to extract surface textures directly from the site’s original floors. These sculptural “skins” capture the wear, paint, and timeworn imprints of the factory’s industrial past.

The result is a series of minimal yet deeply textured works that offer a physical archive of place. Rather than just creating in a space, Domergue creates from it, making Vestige both an artwork and an excavation.

Domergue, recently a co-finalist in the 2025 Archibald Prize, is known for his innovative processes and poetic materiality. Vestige marks his most ambitious solo exhibition to date, bridging art and architecture, memory and transformation.

As Precinct 75 prepares for a new phase of development under Coronation Property and Nation, Vestige offers a timely reflection on history, industry, and renewal.

The exhibition is open: Thursday to Saturday, 11am – 6pm, with free admission.
