IMMERSIVE  EXPERIENCE DESIGN
PARTICIPATORY DRAMATURGY
MULTISENSORY STORYTELLING

Jos Porath creates immersive experiences. Born and raised in Berlin, they have studied, trained, lived and worked in Germany, the United States, England and Austria. Jos has been making work since 2014, with a strong focus on the Berlin performing arts scene. They are part of the collective denialofservice.fail.

​

Jos' immersive experiences are highly curated, site-sensitive, 360° environments that revel in what artist Thomas Bellinck has described as "productive pessimism": the act of passing through dystopias so as to, eventually, contemplate new utopias in response. Their work is often characterized by aesthetics, tropes and/or modes of storytelling from the horror genre, celebrating the poetic and political potential of the monstrous.

​

Jos believes in the unique power of art that demands participation. Their work is dedicated to centering the audience by engaging them in the action directly. Jos' expeiiences explore notions of accountability, self-determination, fear and vulnerability.
