I have recently been working with installation, video and performance. Spatial constructions often open up fully only from a specific angle of viewing, their three-dimensionality flattening into a picture and revealing the hidden narrative of the piece. My purpose is to invite viewers to enter a safe and obvious illusion.
I redirect attention to the small wonders and events in everyday life. Seeing them anew and thereby experiencing them differently is a basic goal for me. The need for redefinition is also reflected by the work I do with the concept of change. The process of dismantling and reassembly manifests as a collage-like treatment of materials in my work.
The centrepiece of my work is always the individual, fervently trying to find the right relationship to the finiteness of life.
