Josse Pyl (BE, 1991)
-
Josse Pyl (°1991) explores language as a material element in our surroundings to reveal the systems behind the signs and sounds that connect one person to another. He investigates how we communicate in ways that go beyond just words, examining the connections between what can be read, sensed, and what is left unspoken. Pyl explores how words and texts pass through human and other bodies, how language and speech form and disintegrate in a process similar to digestion. He reveals this interconnected system through drawings, sculptures, and videos that come together in installations where language, bodies, and knowledge come to life, move, and get lost. By distorting codes and signals we often take for granted, his work offers new perspectives on how we perceive and shape our understanding of the world.
