Jonny Niesche’s works are known for their calm, clean, serene, minimalist aesthetic, and their industrial sheen. They often look like paintings, but are less painted than constructed. Their atmospheric effects lure and captivate viewers like moths, while conjuring up precedents and parallels from art history. Created specifically for Night Feast at the Powerhouse, Total Vibration is a major new site-specific installation, transforming the Stores Studio into a realm of reflection and reverberation, sound and vision. Two massive flexible mirrors—one horizontal, one vertical—face off across the space, rippling, trembling, and shimmering in response to an atmospheric soundtrack by Niesche’s longtime collaborator, British electronic musician Mark Pritchard. Jonny Niesche is based in Gadigal/Sydney, and is represented by 1301SW, Naarm/Melbourne and Gadigal/Sydney.
