Owen Eric Wood is a Montreal-based interdisciplinary artist whose recent works explore the mergence of sculpture, performance and video. Rather than distinguishing himself with a signature formal style, his work is defined through an ongoing re-invention of the self portrait and his questioning of the illusion that is art. His projects are often described with the term fictional documentary as he uses documented material to create experiences that at first appear real but are revealed to be constructed or manipulated. Wood's work puts personal narratives in context with universal themes, such as relationships, identity and family.
Wood's work has exhibited at such international art forums as the European Media Art Festival, the Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival in Germany and the Canariasmediafest in Spain. His work has shown in Canada as part of such events as the Festival International du Film sur l'Art (FIFA) and the Canadian Film Centre Worldwide Short Film Festival. His video works are distributed by Videographe, based in Montreal.
