Bort

Bort is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of memory, urban decay, and collective nostalgia. Born and raised in the post-industrial landscapes of the Midwest, Bort developed a deep fascination with the transformation of spaces and the remnants left behind by human activity. This fascination is evident in Bort’s mixed-media installations, which incorporate found objects, recycled materials, and digital interventions.

Bort’s approach blurs the line between personal narrative and shared experience, often inviting viewers to reconsider their own connections to place and history. Bort’s works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, including solo exhibitions in New York, Berlin, and Tokyo, and their pieces are held in both private and public collections. In addition to visual arts, Bort frequently collaborates with sound artists, architects, and community groups, fostering projects that emphasize participation and social engagement.

Through an ever-evolving practice, Bort continues to challenge conventional notions of beauty, permanence, and belonging.
