HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER ?

In my work, I establish fragile fragments of a coming cosmos. Imploring an ethic of touch based on a relational definition of space, analytical, idealistic, and constructive concepts stand on equal footing. Defining space relationally means first and foremost pointing out that geographical space is constructed, that it arises through interaction, from the immensity of the global to the intimate small. Relational thinking about space manifests diversity and plurality, multiplicity and the simultaneity of different horizons of development.

In my installations and performances, I use a language in which the conceptual content of experiences serves as a metaphor. Here, the immediate phenomenological event is secondary to the conceptual and linguistic activities that take place during and after it in the consciousness of the participants. It uses the conceptual content of the experience as a tool to create an “inner” level of perception in the viewer. The situations I create lead to real experiences for the participants, but not to an image of these experiences. The existential presence of the experience takes place in the viewer's consciousness and therefore cannot be visually represented.

Based on the premise that built structures and the inner world of emotions, memory, and imagination influence each other, my film work explores the aftereffects of historical architecture and its ideas on our unconscious.

My practice focuses more on contemplation than action. In today's world, contemplation is a challenge. It is often seen as passive acceptance of the status quo, while social and political activism is seen as a struggle for change. However, I trust in the potential of contemplation as a form of engagement that is capable of creating something new through transformation.
