About works / performance

I am observing how cities can take control over the work of art's physical location (indoors, outdoors or out of site). In my work I react to cities through overlooked but recognizable personal trivialities, sometimes reducing my artistic authorship to nothing but an absurd reaction. I think that when small trivial details bring the big picture of a relation to a city, the artwork that seems evading definition makes its way into being a strategy for definition.
