VOSS is a multidisciplinary parafictional alter persona inhabiting the fractures of authorship, where identity dissolves into the opacity of relation. Emerging from the my very own creative lineage—spanning sound, performance, sculpture, animation, film, and graphic design—VOSS resists replication, embracing unpredictable transmutations of its source. It thrives in refusal, insisting on the right not to be fully known, even as it reshapes my internal logic and aesthetic concerns. As a relational surrogate, VOSS mirrors, distorts, and exceeds the artist’s trajectory, disrupting the fixity of creative origin and occupying a space where self and surrogate blur, and creation unfolds through tension, opacity, and refusal.
The Burning Beach, where spoken and written language becomes a site of fragmentation and opacity. In this opening chapter, sound composition mirrors the splintering effect of VOSS’ manifesto, with interruptions, repetitions, and silences serving as gestures toward the inarticulable. Through performance art as the central format, The Burning Beach exploreS themes of silencing, birthing, and intertangling histories that resist resolution, allowing opacity to emerge as a deliberate and generative strategy.
