Christian Marclay (1955, United States), residing in London, explores the fusion of fine art and audio cultures, transforming sound and music into a visible, physical form through performance, collage, sculpture, installation, photography and video.
Marclay began his investigations into sound and art through performances with turntables while he was still a student. Transformation of musical instruments or objects into visual puns is an essential component of Marclay’s work to this day, creating ambitious work in a variety of media.
