Levi van Gelder
Bio
Driven by visual storytelling, artistic research and pedagogic collaboration, Levi van Gelder (1995) aims to unearth frictions between compounds of reality and fiction, representation and misrepresentation, and to tap into the dormant spaces of critical and whimsical play nestled inside others. By means of performative research, he sketches out a realm that ranges from provocative tropes within pop culture to history formation. Through quick-witted storytelling and critique, he creates a (hyper)reality show of distorted nonhuman characters that question authenticity and reveal layers of depth in the superficial.
