Tobias Dirty

Tobías works in different disciplines and with different techniques such as drawing, sculpture and performance. His main aesthetic and conceptual influences come from counter-hegemonic cultures ranging from the queer and underground scenes to cyberpunk and witchcraft. His main goal is to generate experimental situations that induce the spectator to reflect on subjects such as art as work, gender and sexuality as spaces of struggle and of socio-cultural transformation, and also on more formal problems related to communication and the new devices of exhibition. He uses resources from installation art and he investigates different ways of montage to create ideal scenarios that engage the public as they contemplate his work. Tobías is also interested in collective production; therefore he occasionally works with the input of other artists. Although his work is penetrated by the conscience of technological advances and by the influence of the flux of virtual information, Tobías's intention is to blur the traces of temporality.
