Tony Oursler: L7-L5. Imponderable
to
CaixaForum Av. de Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia 6-8, 08038 Barcelona
Tony Oursler doesn’t shy away from subject matter that is inexplicable and at times, disturbing—from occult phenomena and telekinesis to the paranormal. This experiential video installation bridges the artist’s first and latest projects through a theme of supernatural beliefs. As an act of media exploration, ‘L7-L5’ pushed the boundaries in 1984 by combining video with sculpture and illustration as a way to present these macabre topics in a multidimensional way. ‘Imponderable’ (2015-16) is a continuation of the idea that not everything we see is real. Oursler questions society’s relationship with media, images and spiritual beliefs within the realms of mysticism, psychedelia and popular culture, and portrays his findings in a full-length 5-D film accompanied by sensory experiences such as vibrations and scents.
