“My life - and therefore my artistic practice – is significantly driven by a deep curiosity about sociocultural processes. Past and present are all mixed into who we are now and who we will be tomorrow. How do we identify ourselves in an ever-changing environment and how does this affect our interaction with the people around us? I change my location of residence, observe and create. To document from my experiences. To initiate a reflective process, an invitation to interact.

 

At least half of my projects are collaborative processes. If you have a project idea which you'd like to discuss, feel free to contact me through the contact form."
