Cerith Wyn Evans?gloriously uncategorizable oeuvre has spanned installation works, sculptures, photography, film, text and a recent collaboration with industrial-music pioneers Throbbing Gristle. Preoccupations with language and perception generally lead the works, from an exhibition at Tate Britain in which a computer randomly selected lines from William Blake? poetry to be reflected off a disco ball in Morse code format to ?nverse, Perverse, Reverse,?a large circular mirror that showed viewers?reflections upside down, referencing Lacan? mirror-stage theory of identity while throwing a wrench into the expected experience of representation. Evans has said he wants his work to function as a ?atalyst or reservoir of possible meanings that, for the viewer, could unravel many discursive journeys.?In this series of conversations, Hans Ulrich Obrist draws Evans on these and other themes.
