The Motion Picture Era
JASON SHOP, the Visuals ltd –is an ever-changing motion arts company, led by JASON GWEN. Across ON all on, and OFFLINE MEDIA. The work is about the look on Western actuality, from different perspectives of other parts of the world. We are highly active in Amsterdam, Ho Chi Minh City, Vancouver.
The focus is on a broad look on the global daily work patterns. The (re)questioning about (sub)conscious choices we make to create and live a certain reality. Most of the work is being preceded by a research phase, where Jason is living in a certain reality for a period of time, before creating the work. We focus on the way of living of others’, see people that people rather not see.
The work has been shown in multiple forms next to (site-specific) performances like pop-up stores, exhibitions, installations, theatre plays, choreographic work, dance concerts, concept albums, musical compositions, short video’s, photography series, graphic designs, fashion designs, gesamstkunstwerk, protests, and many more to explore.
