Jess Johnson: Wurm Haus

Overview

This New Zealand-born, Melbourne-based artist is once again inviting us into her wonderfully warped reality with her latest exhibition, Wurm Haus. Jess Johnson's work is immediately recognisable to those who have had the pleasure of experiencing it before, with her influences ranging from science fiction, dystopian worlds, parallel universes and comic books. Geometric patterns, contorted bodies and intriguing typography also feature heavily in her work, all of which create a deeper sense of her alternate reality.

The centrepiece for her latest exhibition, titled 'Ixian Gate', brings us one step further into her world, where visitors are required to wear a virtual reality headset to immerse themselves completely. Using Oculus Rift technology, visitors will experience 360 views of Johnson's unusual universe, which is as captivating as it is a little frightening.
