About
Why this artist matters now
Jan Sosniok is a German performance artist whose practice engages the body as a primary material and site of inquiry. Working since the late 1980s, he stages durational and participatory performances that interrogate presence, endurance, and social exchange. His work operates within the expanded field of performance art, where the ephemeral encounter between artist and audience generates meaning through direct physical engagement rather than object production.
