Synopsis "The Spiritual Guide to Every Day Life: 121 trains of thoughts"
Jonathan Sharma (Jon)Jonathan Sharma (Jon) ( 1956, New York, United States) creates performances, photos, drawings and performances. By demonstrating the omnipresent lingering of a 'corporate world', his performances references post-colonial theory as well as the avant-garde or the post-modern and the left-wing democratic movement as a form of resistance against the logic of the capitalist market system.His performances appear as dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, meanings shift, past and present fuse. Time and memory always play a key role. By merging several seemingly incompatible worlds into a new universe, he uses a visual vocabulary that addresses many different social and political issues. The work incorporates time as well as space - a fictional and experiential universe that only emerges bit by bit.His works bear strong political references. The possibility or the dream of the annulment of a (historically or socially) fixed identity is a constant focal point. By applying a poetic and often metaphorical language, he wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator by creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil poetic images that leave traces and balances on the edge of recognition and alienation.His works demonstrate how life extends beyond its own subjective limits and often tells a story about the effects of global cultural interaction over the latter half of the twentieth century. It challenges the binaries we continually reconstruct between Self and Other, between our own 'cannibal' and 'civilized' selves. Jonathan Sharma (Jon) currently lives and works in Los Angeles.The volume contains the complete trains of thoughts he developed in the Project of Tent for Spiritual Conservations between 2016 and 2018.
