Jozef Eduard Masarik

Jozef Eduard Masarik is an art practitioner and theoretician dealing with the issues surrounding our embodiment and its relatedness to its surrounding environments. Fieldwork has taken me to Greenland, recently. I have explored the interweaving of terroir, perception and clashes between indigenous and colonizer cultures. The work inspired my further research in embodied epistemologies of remoteness. My previous research on identity, embodiment, technology and knowledge production has re-centered its focus from mainland to island, from the central issues to the peripheral. The peripheral, thus, becomes a laboratory for thinking through artistic practice.
