Maz Jardon holds an RMA in Literary Studies from the University of Amsterdam and blends his research, education, and experience into his artistic works. Where his research is concerned with how medicine is depicted in the horror genre, his art considers the body and its limits as a kind of horror in their own right. Utilizing exclusively physical media, packing tape, and glue, his pieces often depict the phenomenology of various types of pain and suffering, each explored through the contrast between materiality versus immateriality, organic versus inorganic, and spectator versus spectacle. Maz takes inspiration from artists like Ron Athey, Hans Belmer, and Zdzisław Beksiński, as well as philosophers from Thomas Ligotti to Elaine Scarry.
