Biography
Till Roeskens
Period: 2013-2014
Profession: Plastician A lover of applied geography, Till Roeskens belongs to the family of artist-explorers. His work thrives on encounters with a given territory and those who try to make their way in it. What he brings back from his wanderings, whether in the form of a book, a video film, a conference-slide show or other light-hearted forms, is never intended as a simple report, but as an invitation to the exercise of the gaze, a permanent questioning of what it is possible to grasp of the infinite complexity of the world. His “attempts at orientation” are developed with the recurring concern of reaching an uninformed public and making the people he meets co-authors of the work. At the Villa Médicis, he will devote his time to finding a form that will unravel and weave together the different threads that run through his life and work.
