ABOUT

I am a spatial designer and audio-visual media artist and I'm unsatisfied with this reality. I am engaged with otherworldly conceptualisations, science fiction and speculative theory. Within this realm I aim to morph media, cultural phenomena and hypothesis into installations, spaces and happenings. When an expectation fails or a confrontation with a contrary behaviour occurs a different understanding is possible. I am drawn to the absurd.

In my process I analyse systems like cultural dynamics, technological behaviour and political movements by synchronisation of patterns and exchange of bits. I am convinced that we can find similar dynamics in every aspect of life and by queering the complex a deconstructing, yet reconstructing friction is created. Simultaneously, an emphasis on aesthetics takes place – otherwise there is no beauty within the eye of the beholder left. I like to stage.

In my theoretical considerations I explore dualistic notions of media, poststructuralist philosophy, materialism and nihilism with the attempt of enriching the dialogue by involving Film, Music, and Cultural phenomenon. I argue with metaphysical images of media, corresponding religious ambitions and try to break down binaries. I deny reality.

My creative spectrum ranges from hands-on craftsmanship to computer aided design and construction and is characterised by a simple but complex use of the materials. I am concerned with the diverse trajectories of cultural production and have already worked as a producer, curator, art director and filmmaker. My objective is an absolute.
