About works / performance

Metod works multidisciplinary across experimental thinking, design, education and consultancy and is exploring innovative strategies and concepts designing provoking thoughts, relevant projects and engaging workshops. His experimental practice abandons traditional means of creative processes. His practice - a modular methodology - aims at societally relevant issues and is voicing appropriate messages resulting in critical and creatively produced outcomes. His objective in practice is to actively engage the audience in sharing dialogue and exchange.
