Timothy Edser

Timothy Kendall Edser is a new media and performance artist based between Berlin and Melbourne. Edser's youth, spent growing up in the northern Queensland town of Mackay, a town renowned for its mining and agriculture industries, has strongly influenced his work, which investigates the identity of the male body and challenges society's traditional ideal of masculinity. Edser's Tension series of performance works centre themselves around they artist's body, its mass and the way in which it interacts within the environment in which it is placed. The series performances become a scientific discovery, where the artist tests and creates new hypotheses about his body's movement and endurance.
