Since 2006 the artist collective FORT creates room installations and performances which vacillate on the threshold between art and everyday life. Their works mark points of simultaneity where fiction and reality merge. In blurring the boundaries between truth and pretense, sense continually withdraws from its definitive configuration. Sequences of repetitive actions stretch spatial and temporal dimensions in a precise choreography of life-like simulation. Fleeting and artificial, these spaces subtly encourage viewers to become mute spectators of the spectacle occurring around them. FORT develops a game between the stasis of establishment and the speculative prospects of what is yet to come. The artist collective lives and works in Berlin and Hamburg.
