About works / performance

 

My work is often performance related. I like to interact with the local context; I investigate people and their surrounding and the space they're in. This space can be either private or public, and use the most effective medium.
Depending on the situation and the envirronment I work with various new media(such as audio and video) that ultimately lead to a perfromance or installation.
A tempory intervention is often confronting,ask questions,is politic for even poetic.

Comment

During the last two years I develloped the mobile studio in different cities and countries around the world. The mobile studio is an instrument to work and show directly in the city where it’s operating. The mobile studio is not limited to an exhibition place such as a gallery or a museum and museum and can survive in the city itself.
