Jan Vorisek: Private Fictions

Immersive installations of found objects and sound machines create an experiential score incorporating feedback and distortionSwiss artist Jan Vorisek (born 1987) works across sculpture, video and sound to create site-specific installations that examine formal hierarchies through the delineation of space.In assemblages of found materials and sound-producing devices, he explores the fluctuation of noise as a medium for information.The multitudes of the smallest details of Vorisek’s practice provide, just as the complexities of the room-size installation do, an intricate, layered and endlessly unfolding potential for encounter and revelation.The essays in the artist's first-ever monograph, alongside image portfolios of the exhibitions they explore and an appendix that features photos and documentation of Vorisek’s performances, recordings and ephemera, grant us unprecedented access to the private fictions that the work reveals.
