我的创作持续围绕思考单调的事物如何变得重要。我关注材料的想象力,热衷于捕捉平凡的瞬间,改善生活中被忽视的地方,空间和物体,揭示生活中意义的时刻,以转变我们看待生活的方式。
我的创作领域围绕表演、叙事性空间、电影、拼贴和在地艺术不断进行空间理论实践。
I do not use concepts, I work with open-ended play, mistakes, and risks. I aspire to create humour and surprise. I start with my interests. I want to discover my work; playing and editing continuously until I realize what I am doing. In my creation, I do not start with a huge ambition or pursue grand narratives. Instead, I explore a subtle and evocative sense of ambiguity.
My main concern is how the mundane could become significant. I focus on the imagination of materials and have a passion for retrieving overlooked spaces, places and objects. I want to transform the way we perceive them and to reveal moments of meaning in daily life. I use instructions instead of using concepts in my work.
My creative field revolves around performance, narrative space, film, collage and site-specific art.
