Coming from the theatre world, Thomas Israël (Brussels, 1975) approaches the visual arts from a multi-media perspective, challenging the visitor who is invited to take part in an artistic experiment. By means of sophisticated devices and sensors, it is the self-image which he questions by processing appearance, disappearance and superposition. Thomas uses the notion of temporality to evoke the human destiny in forms of contemporary vanities. Also an author of video projections, one of which was recently selected and presented by the MoMA in New York, Thomas Israël provokes contradictory feelings among the spectators. Thomas frequently participates in festival and international art exhibitions in Europe, North America and Asia. In “Made in China”, Thomas Israël will convey the visitor into his 'Emotions Recycling Factory'. This project combines sculptures and videos such as his new shanghai-based video "Breath me out".
