about


Luke Jordan 

I work between live art, text, sonic art, sculpture, installation and their documentation; often combining many of these elements in anomalous configurations and hybrid entanglements.

I speculate upon the ontological relationship between the human and non-human, materialist and non-materialist metaphysics and beyond, through the psycho-physical process of creation, immersion, and fatal meetings between objects / entities, approaching ontological destabilisation and disintegration. 

I conduct direct experiments, merging art forms within sites of performance and installation, which are conceived as laboratories, testing grounds for:

The poetic inter-relationship of entities, and their spectres; be they, a human, dirt, words, a mattress, a sculpture, a room, a sound etc. 

The development of unformed narratives; entities containing a multitude of other entities which are in the process of formation, mutation, dissolution and reformation    

The creation of viscerally affective multisensory experiences, breakthroughs of the anomalous, opening labyrinthine passages of communication with the unknown.
