About works / performance
My vision is shaped by perception that opens to what normally is overlooked. I question and explore spaces, bodies, objects, landscape and memories. It is the seemingly insignificance of everyday life. This is the marginal zones that are withdrawn from ephemeral perception and which I define as common by picturing them. My work always focuses on temporality by defined moments of volatility and movement. My strategies lead me to create works, which follow the structures of rooms as well as pursuing the coherence of the chosen images and to refer to its content. It is about to discover what lies behind and between. I do not only combine different places but also different periods. In this way I establish references between the exhibits and the room, which didn't exist previously.transitional fields
