Joe Moss

Using techniques of assemblage, Joe Moss (b.1991) creates sculpture, video and events where competing fictions collapse into one another. Informed by networked culture, Moss' work situates the viewer within thin fictional structures to be recognised and read as material. By skirting and exposing the edges, Moss reveals structures of artifice through moments of contrast or revelation. Moss' work considers the increasing pace, overlap and repetition in our everyday encounters with fiction. This approach draws on Leila A. Villaverde and Roymeico A. Carter’s idea of ‘the proleptic’: the collapse of past, present and future, where fiction, reality and progress blur.
