Ode de Kort
Bio
Ode de Kort's artistic practice can be seen as an ongoing exercise with different characters in a poetic and performative investigation of the interrelationships between body and language. This process translates into installation, performance, text, photography, video and sound.
In many of her works, the O is a kind of central axis through and around which other works and characters emerge. This practice leads to an extended vocabulary, namely a language that arises through, and interacts with, its context. She works with both the material, (typo)graphic, poetic and performative qualities of these characters and they are engaged as transformative forms in the most diverse contexts. By zooming in and out, repeating and shifting, she is in search of rhythms and in-between spaces that allow us to (re)make sense of them.

Reading shoe - that, is flat
A performance in which a boot and heel play the leading role as typographic performers and language-producing engines.
