This event has ended.

“Our lives are constantly influenced by the forces of history, economy and politics. These forces saturate the environments we all live in. My works are questions about how we experience those forces, and what our position in regards to them is. I often create interventions and performances in the public space creating video pieces that explore the city as a space of political and relational conflict. I work in many media: sculpture, installation, painting, photography and internet-based projects, and also make site-specific projects that explore different relations between art, curators galleries and the public.”
