My work oscillates between performance art, film and installation.
I work with the media film as a documentary instrument. Film with its
bodily materiality is a central theme. In my videoperformances I use
the recordings to fragment the body into moving particles. I deal with
social environment and liminal spaces and use my body as a meassure.
In my Live-Performances I work with daily actions and its absurdity.
In this examinations I reflect and interevene with site specific conditions
and create actions or installations through simple, clear gestures.
I am interested in this interaction with site-specific conditions which
govern human behaviour and relationships. I transform and
decontextualise daily materials or found footage and combine it.
I always have to adjust my own borders - failure as a constant companion.

“I create images as a sculptor with the body as my material.
I create patterns as a painter and time is my brush.
I intervene as a musician and the space starts to sound.
In this sophisticated moments of encounter I try to share my
univers and the way of how I discover it.”
