ES DEVLIN AND HANS ULRICH OBRIST: IN CONVERSATION

About the talk

Es Devlin talks about various projects from her varied career – from the fragile drawings of the early years to more recent monumental projects and stage designs. Her work and personality are infused with a strong force of vocation. Devlin opens up about magic, her love of planting trees, the artist’s obligation to amaze, and what she hopes to accomplish.

“Rather than preaching to people as to how to change their behavior, artists need to amaze us into a perspective shift, and therefore a behavioral shift.”

— Es Devlin
