Wyn Evans was born in 1958 in Llanelli, Wales, lives and works in
London, England. He graduated from the Royal College of Art, London
in 1984 and began his career as a film and videomaker.
Throughout the 1980's, Wyn Evans made short experimental films that
have been screened internationally. Since the early 1990's, Wyn Evans
has worked with sculpture and installation.
His work deals with the phenomenology of time, language and perception.
In 1996, Wyn Evans created an installation at White Cube, London,
entitled "Inverse, Reverse, Perverse". For the show he hung
a large concave mirror on the wall which inverted and radically distorted
the viewer's reflection, engendering a disturbing self-portrait. The
artist also placed a back-to-front green neon exit sign "TIX3" (1994),
over the door of the exhibition space, that when reflected in the
mirror, further displaced any sense of perceptual limits. |
