Boris Jöns

Boris Jöns, born 1970, is an interdisciplinary artist and musician, thematizing speech and conversations as currencies, material and expressions of social life. For the realization of performative frames of conversations he works with interventions in public space, performances, workshops, live-shows, video and sound, often combined to hybrid formats.

“How do we percieve the world and how do we utter about it?”  Boris is interested in the linguistic, spatial, social and psychological perception of speech situations. His objective is to stage and initiate conversations as a public and playful practice for professional and non-professional speakers.
