“Dwelling within the walls of impenetrable spaces watching worlds disintegrate” is a series of three videos created in collaboration with electronic music duo Psycho & Plastic. The three videos were exclusively shot inside of the digital world of Occupy White Walls (OWW), an open world art/gallery simulation. As a whole the series is an audio-visual meditation about our place in the world and how we encounter what we call reality.
Thomas Georg Blank, born 1990 in Germany, was first trained in cultural and media education focusing on photography before studying visual art in Karlsruhe and Mexico City. Moving between research and speculative interpretations, Blank explores how spatial and habitual representations of individual and collective imagination affect the world we’re living in and vice versa. By creating multidirectional, spatial narratives he offers spectators a space for reconfiguration and change of perspective. He currently lives in Darmstadt and Los Angeles and has participated in exhibitions in galleries and museums worldwide, including Hek Basel, Historisches Museum Frankfurt, Kunsthalle Darmstadt, CEAAC Strasbourg, Blue Star Contemporary and C/O Berlin. His works have been awarded many times and he has been a scholar of DAAD at UC San Diego’s Center for Human Imagination.
