ACF SUPPORTED | KURT HENTSCHLAGER’s ZEE

Kurt Hentschläger is a Chicago-based Austrian media artist and interdisciplinary performance maker with a unique audiovisual sensibility. For over a decade, Hentschläger has been exploring ways of enhancing and intensifying perception, by temporarily removing individuals from their taken-for-granted surroundings and subjecting them to the otherworldly effects of stroboscopic lighting and shifting color fields, intense soundscapes and sub-bass, often amidst enormous multi-screen surround environments, or inside of special enclosures built specifically for the work.

The New York City premiere of ZEE extends Hentschläger’s intensity and technique into an abstract world of pulsing light and spatial disorientation that is at once exhilarating and meditative. An enclosed space is filled with a dense, odorless fog that completely obscures the walls, floor, and ceiling.
