Masters in Procrastination and Masturbation
Join OSCAM on friday July 3, 2026, for Masters in Procrastination and Masturbation, the first solo exhibition by Surinamese artist Zergei Samson, known as Zed. Samson.
This exhibition traces a personal journey toward accepting sexuality and the emotional weight that comes with it. Through deeply personal works, Samson reflects on experiences of insecurity, depression, isolation, and self-doubt, while also confronting the gradual process of self-acceptance and growth.
By inviting the viewer into his mind, Samson translates emotions and lived experiences onto the canvas in a direct and often literal way. Internal struggles are transformed into visual language, allowing feelings that are difficult to express verbally to exist physically within the space.
At its core, the exhibition is about perspective and transformation. Looking back at where he once was, acknowledging where he is now, and imagining what the future might hold. Samson’s work captures the tension between vulnerability and resilience, reminding viewers that identity is not fixed, but continuously shaped through experience, reflection, and acceptance.
