Jan Fedinger [EU 1983] is a visual artist that works across various media while using Light as prime medium of expression. His oeuvre comprises performative installations an installatief performances, light art and lighting design, performing, photography, drawings and furniture design. He is also the secret mind behind the modular synthesiser projects Invader_RUI and 404_instruments.
Work of Jan has been shown across Europe and beyond in the context of theatre and visual art. He is seeking to create environments that have not yet been perceived but that have only been dreamed of.
Next to his autonome work he has collaborated with artists such as Aina Alegre, Jan Martens, Jefta van Dinther, Daniel Linehan, Aitana Cordero, Thiago Granato and Alban Richard.
Jan has been a founding member of “reflecting light”, a research group of international lighting designers that seeks to map and formulate the increasing performative role of light in performing arts contexts. Since 2021 this research has been embedded into KASK - Royal Conservatory for the Arts in Gent, Belgium.
Currently on tour is Jans performance ‘land[e]scapes 4 - redistribution of wealth by nature [working title]’ , as well as his visual designs for ‘Any Attempt will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones’ by Jan Martens, ‘R-A-U-X-A’ and ‘THIS IS NOT…’ by Aina Alegre among others.
