Chloe Wise: Extra Sensory
Text by Samuel Leuenberger, Chloe Wise, Fabiola Alondra, Alex Berns, Heller Balarama, Gideon Jacobs, Kay Kasparhauser, Clinton King, et al.
Recent film output from the New York–based artist whose work engages with the absurdities of digital culture and mass consumerism
In Extra Sensory, Canadian-born artist Chloe Wise (born 1990) explores how we perceive reality and what remains concealed beyond the limits of sense and language. The book is published to accompany the artist's solo show at KBH.G, which presents her most expansive film project to date: a multichannel video installation enveloping the viewer in a shifting, cinematic environment. Wise introduces figures that evoke angels, supernatural beings or technological apparitions, yet present themselves as unstable constructs. The exhibition understands perception not as a neutral reception of reality, but as an active, mediating process shaped by language, history and cultural expectations. The publication mirrors this atmosphere, reflecting on recent directions in Wise's practice and her interest in the outer edges of human knowledge. With contributions from a diverse group—ranging from critics Gideon Jacobs and Piper Marshall to scholars such as Diana Walsh-Pasulka and even psychic mediums—the publication presents Wise's latest artistic production in a fresh, original way.
