Winner: BDS prize for excellence in Sculpture.
Timo Walters is a sculptural artist whose work explores the imaginative potential to reconstruct human subjectivities and narratives by investigating the interconnectedness of things. As humans become increasingly connected and knowledgeable, the absurdities of our interpretations of reality are brought to light, forcing us to continually adapt and evolve them. Timo views art as a site for the conception and materialisation of complex stories that are compatible with our current reality.
His final undergrad project is an interactive sculptural sound installation intended to problematise perceived thresholds of human and nonhuman subjectivity. Utilising customised marine telephones as signifying objects within a spatially responsive, sound-generating environment, the work destabilises subject-object relationships and generates an auto-mythological experience within the context of an information based civilisation.
We are each of us cast adrift upon an ocean of information, aboard a ship of interpretation. The waves beat endlessly down as we salvage and reconfigure our fragile vessel over and over.
