Alexander Iezzi

Alexander Iezzi is an artist, musician and performer based in Berlin. Moving between sculptural installations, video, radio and live performance, his practice centers on the transformation of materials into scenes, figures, sound and moving images in order to attain the surreal. Iezzi collects matter and sound (sometimes also protagonists, such as his colleagues or stuffed animals) and re-deploys them through various media in order to question the typical forms of perception in psychology, identity, sex, art and politics. The work treats low-budget, DIY aesthetics not only as a political choice, but as a craft practice.
For this year's Unworlding, Iezzi presents a new iteration of his ongoing project plant plant inside Lastkajen, the former mine whose history of extracted capital is mirrored in the iron-orange water of the surrounding lake and its own depths. Born from a critique of centralized energy systems, the installation operates as a mini power plant, alive and in direct competition with the music and socializing of the festival itself.

Unworlding is presented with support from the Swedish Arts Council.
