The Brain Is in the Belly: A Conversation with Tori Wrånes

Here is an interview article that really struck a chord and it just seems well worth sharing.

Tori Wränes, whose latest works feature in the Nordic pavilion at this year’s Venice Biennale, has a wonderful knack for communicating things difficult to express in words. Within her environments, we might encounter primeval or hybrid beings, an igloo that grows hair, or a static object that is said to be a performance—strange objects and situations that encourage us to search for latent meanings, explore our thoughts and feelings, and become aware of life’s underappreciated rhythms. Wränes’s projects highlight her love of material, while also reflecting her experience in theater and the expressive arts. The former rock band member is also an exceptional vocalist, who views the latter process, which often involves paralanguage, as a means of releasing sculptures into space.
