JOSHUA MOSLEY
Joshua Mosley (*1974, lives and works in Philadelphia) puts ever-changing scenes in motion with his unique, vividly poetic mixed-media video animations. His artistically handcrafted figures in clay and gypsum are brought to life with stop-motion recording techniques and combined with a backdrop of photographs and charcoal and pen-and-ink drawings. Accompanied by his own compositions and dialogues, his works concentrate on fundamental philosophical themes such as love or our relationship to nature, or he evokes imagined encounters between famous personages from various historical periods. Mosley is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a contributor to this year’s Whitney Biennal in New York.
