NL
Joris Perdieus is multidisciplinair kunstenaar en onderzoeker (LUCA/KULeuven), hij bevraagt ruimtelijkheid en de manier waarop mensen via allerlei strategieën met ruimte in dialoog treden. Zijn werken zijn vaak tijdelijke ruimtelijke installaties, ingrepen op binnen- of buitenruimtes vanuit een doorgedreven intuïtieve, akoestische en architecturale analyse.
Joris zoekt en bestudeert raakpunten tussen installatiekunst, theater en scenografie. Gaandeweg ontdekte hij de performatieve aspecten in zijn manier van werken, die vormen steeds vaker het centrale onderwerp van zijn methode die uitgesproken discipline-overschrijdend is. Joris woont en werkt in Brussel en Leuven.
ONDERZOEK
De basistegenstelling die Joris’ praktijk drijft bevindt zich op het spanningsveld tussen de fysische werkelijkheid en de waarneming: hoe de dingen echt zijn tegenover hoe we de dingen waarnemen.
Het onderzoek verenigt artistieke ambacht en technologie met performatieve en psychologische strategieën. Joris creëert en ontwerpt ervaringsgerichte performances en ruimtes die de toeschouwer begeleiden naar een zintuiglijke beleving via verschillende media, al dan niet technologisch van aard: een stem die uit een vaas in je handen komt, je bent omringd door abstracte geluiden, clicks en akoestische trillingen… ook de ruimte transformeert technisch, lichtomstandigheden veranderen, soms wordt het geheel donker, er zijn verborgen prikkels of prikkels die niet meteen opvallen zoals bodembedekking, luchtverplaatsingen en andere atmosferische elementen, temperatuursverschillen.
Het werk wilt de bezoeker bewust confronteren met de samenwerking van zijn zintuigen en de onopgemerkte tussenposities in diens werkelijkheidsbeleving, om zo meer te ontdekken over het eigen lichaam en de verhouding ervan tot de ruimte en de context.
Joris hanteert een less-is more principe, hij zal in eerste instantie het spektakel ontleden en ontmantelen, de overgebleven onderdelen analyseren, het overtollige materiaal verwijderen en wat overblijft op een andere manier opnieuw samenstellen.

BIO
Joris Perdieus is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher (LUCA/KULeuven). He questions spatiality and the way people dialogue with space, through all kinds of artistic strategies.
His works are often temporary spatial installations, interventions on interior- or exterior spaces based on a thorough intuitive, acoustic and architectural analysis. Joris looks for, and investigates, points of contact between installation art, theater and scenography. Gradually he discovered the performative aspects in his way of working, they increasingly become the central subject of his method, which is distinctively cross-disciplinary. Joris lives and works in Brussels and Leuven.
RESEARCH
The basic contradiction that drives Joris’ practice is found in the tension between physical reality and perception: how things are real versus how we perceive things.
The research unites artistic craft and technology with performative and psychological strategies. Joris develops experiential performances and spaces that guide the viewer to a sensory experience through different media, technological or otherwise: a voice coming from a vase in your hands, alternated by abstract sounds, clicks and acoustic vibrations… The space itself also transforms technologically: light conditions change, sometimes the whole becomes dark, there are hidden stimuli or stimuli that are not immediately noticeable such as ground cover, air displacements and other atmospheric elements, temperature differences.
The work wants to consciously confront the visitor with the cooperation of the senses, the unnoticed intermediate positions in his perception of reality, in order to discover more about his own body and its relationship to space and context.
Joris applies a less-is-more principle, he will initially dissect and dismantle the spectacle, analyze the remaining parts, remove the excess material and reassemble what remains in a different way.
