Tris Vonna-Michell

Tris Vonna­-Michell stages installations and performs narrative structures, using spoken word, sound compositions and photography. The narratives he relates pan between historical events and personal anecdotes which are reinvented through their disparate associations. Vonna­-Michell's works are context­specific and extend over years. Layering and renegotiating the inherent formal, material and narrative structures he performs what he terms a "narrative of form" in which multiple facets defy conventions and retain their elusive qualities.
