Jordan Wolfson is a boundary-crosser and provocateur who places perception under strain, unsettling and destabilizing our awareness. At the center of his work is the ego: fragmented, overstimulated, and driven to breaking point. On the occasion of the solo exhibition at the Kunsthaus Bregenz in 2022, a catalogue was published that explores this practice through a dense sequence of images and texts and makes the distinctive dramaturgy of the works, staged within spaces designed by Peter Zumthor, tangible. The catalogue brings together key approaches to an artistic practice that is deliberately confrontational, placing viewers in intense, often disturbing situations that expose vulnerability, power relations, and moral ambivalence. An essay by Thomas D. Trummer, along with previously unpublished conversations between the artist and Anne Imhof and Simon Denny, expands perspectives on Wolfson’s work.
