Robert Oros is an artist and curator based in Cardiff. Using performance, installation, video and photography, his work explores identity, human behaviour and the relationship between body and space. Examining different socio-political systems, including upheaval, oppression, surveillance and its impacts on individual and collective consciousness, Robert creates (and disrupts) live environments that invite collaboration and participation, exploring intuition, collective power and the unpredictable.
