Swiss artist Jan Vorisek (born 1987 in Basel) 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.
A recurring theme in Vorisek’s works is the idea of process, decay or corrosion, not only as metaphor but as operative method: structures and objects are continuously disassembled, re-organized, re-animated, creating fluctuating environments where form and sound interweave.
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.
