Tony Oursler: SPECULAR is published to accompany American artists exhibition at Kunstraum Dornbirn, which took place in Fall 2021. The book contains two new in-depth interviews by Alice Ko and Noam Elcott and installation views of Ourslers new body of work called SPECULAR, shown in Dornbirn for the very first time. For the project SPECULAR, Oursler has produced seven new spherical digital projections of macro shots of eyes. It is a continuation of the series Obscura which began in 1996 and various iterations have been produced through the years. These works explore the creative and destructive energy of conspiracy theories such as denial of the moon landing, the illuminati, 5G/COVID-19 causation, chemtrails, and the pseudoscience of iridology and psychedelics.
