Tris Vonna-Michell - Profile

With his energetic performances, Tris Vonna-Michell adds a whole new chapter to the age-old tradition of storytelling. His performances function as chapters within an over-arching, non-linear story. They develop in parallel to one another, occasionally intertwining. He tells his stories inside installations that he has created, interweaving projections, texts and objects as theatrical props. During the performances, he takes his audience with him on a mental and physical journey, through which the objects in the gallery space acquire additional layers of meaning or briefly refer to each other. With his tales, he tries to unravel various fictional and non-fictional histories. The incredible rapidity with which he speaks changes the words and sentences in to a baffling rhythmic and abstract composition. His use of sound reveals how the complex relationship between speech and language balances between order and chaos, illusion and disillusion. His practice is at once structured and spontaneous. Working with a premeditated scenario, Vonna-Michell?s performance is influenced by the situation in which he finds himself, and new stories, images and associations come into being. His young but rich artistic practice shows traces of vocal experiments from the early 1920s, such as Kurt Schwitters? well-known sound poem Ursonata. (Witte de With, Rotterdam)
