Jordan Wolfson
This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Jordan Wolfson at Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria, which spanned four floors of the museum in 2022. Working in sculpture, installation, photography, video, animation, performance, and other mediums, Wolfson draws on sources including video games, online videos, comic strips, and facial recognition software to interrogate the conditions of art and technology. The enigmatic and uncomfortable scenarios he engineers hinge on the psychological power of the uncanny and the fragmentation of the ego, exposing covert impulses and unstable power relations.
Edited by Thomas D. Trummer, the catalogue features a dense sequence of images—including numerous details and installation photography—that evokes the dramaturgy of Wolfson’s work as it was staged in interiors of the Peter Zumthor–designed building. An introductory essay by Trummer and candid reflection by Wolfson, along with previously unpublished conversations between the artist and Anne Imhof and Simon Denny, expand the perspectives on the subject’s deliberately confrontational practice and the cast of invented characters around which it revolves.
