J. Paris’ practice questions notions of public consciousness in the context of authority versus authorship. He is primarily concerned with canons of nation states violence & coercion — while using visual media communication as an apparatus for pedagogy,
re-memory and testimony. Some of his previous works have been shown in formats of Moving Image, Multimeadia Installation, Performance, Cultural Programming and Text.
His ongoing research bridges critical epistemologies to investigate choreographies of knowledge (re)production and historiographing. Since his first solo exhibition in Croydon England Home Is Where The Body Isn’t. has sustained an ongoing interest in contemplating forms of spatial recasting through evolving semantics of belonging and reinstitution.
Previous projects include Body as Testimony with [Iniva] Institute of International Visual Arts, Mem|ora|bilia at Brixton House Theatre, Tactility: Ethics of Heritage and Land at Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Registos Bantu with Douglas Hyde Gallery in Dublin and My Ontological Corporeality at Hangar Centro de Investigação Artística in Lisbon.
