Josse Pyl

Josse Pyl (1991, St-Niklaas, Belgium) explores the production of language and how it substantiates and influences our interpretation of the daily reality and our communication with others. Pyl works in a variety of media, from works on paper to sculptural works, to emphasize the way in which our use of objects and symbols influences how we know and experience the world around us. A grammar of works attentively articulates our relationship with language and how it functions as a cultural artifact that contains (un)pronounced—therefore, sometimes involuted and intuitive—ideas. The drawings and objects can be considered as characters or symbols that re-create a separated linguistic world; one that exists and is permeated with its own internal logic, in which  the forms of communication are made tangible and plausible, yet alienated.
