John Bock
John Bock (born 1965 in Schenefeld, Germany) is a German artist. He studied in Hamburg, Germany and lives and works in Berlin. Work Bock is a multi-media artist primarily known for his performances. Since 1991, he creates environments hand crafted from found materials which function as symbolic settings for his "lectures." More recently there has been an increased production of film and video work. In his "lectures", Bock acts on "stages" built from tables, cupboards or multi-level wood constructions.

After the lecture, they are left on the stage which thus forms a "theatrical collage".
