About works / performance
My work is often performance related. I like to interact with the local context; I investigate people and their surrounding and the space they're in. This space can be either private or public, and use the most effective medium.
Depending on the situation and the envirronment I work with various new media(such as audio and video) that ultimately lead to a perfromance or installation.
A tempory intervention is often confronting,ask questions,is politic for even poetic.
