Zach Thompson is an artist living in London. Having recently graduated from Central St Martins, he is currently making and exhibiting work as part of the Arts & Music collective Basil Productions. His work encompasses disciplines of moving image, writing, sound, music and performance, often situating his physical self within the work. His conceptual concerns surround ontological encounters with space and time, contradictions inherent in self-reflexive structures and semantic tensions between language and communication. He explores his ideas in both individual and collaborative settings, often situating physical bodies amidst digital environments, encouraging interaction with these technologies in an analogue way. Essentially, the central methodological and conceptual core of his work is constituted by an investigation into the nature of mimesis. Whether this is presented through imitative performance scenarios or in the re-presentation of the same object through different means, Thompson invites the viewer to question the nature of the object before them, and subsequently the medium through which it is presented. Despite his considered structuralist compositions, what is repeatedly communicated is a negation or breaking down of structural integrity, often at the hands of the structure itself. This element of his work invites the viewer to consider the stability and truth of the phenomena they are presented with, and further, the stability of a notion of the self.
