By Youri Appelo

By transforming selected images, objects and collective experiences, Tonus positions them in a new process of thought and present their underlying structures of codification and normativity. Either working with video or journalistic writing, voice, performance or sculpture, the research of Diego Tonus analyses the balance between narrative’s modes and the content, showing or revealing how much narrative structure is, above all, an instrument of influencing and manipulation of both the public and the object.
