Living in front of the mobile phone, always informed, always with one foot in the next virtual movie world - we often don’t see the world around us. With my work I’m trying to get back a bit real space – by using traditional materials but equally light, video or sound and mostly by using any kind of movement. The central subject is not the medium, it is the investigation of and the play with the mechanisms of human perception - preferably in public space, as it is real per se and open to everyone.
By not covering up, by adding a visible layer, by supporting or irritating, the given image is to be put into question. It is about making a statement/ a comment or ask a question – sometimes strange, sometimes funny, but always with responsibility for and in interaction with the context – in spatial or social terms, with traditional or new media, physical or imagined … to get an idea of what is behind the layers - or behind the art work.
