“There’s law in your mouth”

Modrzeski examines how Law is a shared fiction that writes the world into existence.
The story of law has taken thousands of years to tell, shifting forms as it moves across cultures. It is an incantation. It is a ghost. It is karaoke with consequences. Slipping into our bodies it speaks through us about selfhood, morality and justice.

NICK MODRZEWSKI is an artist, writer and barrister. He works across sculpture, film, performance and text to examine the absurdities of social engagements, with a focus on law and other shared fictions. As a barrister, he practices mainly in commercial and criminal law and publishes in the area of arts law.
