About works / performance

For some time now, I have been working on projects exploring the meeting point between simplicity and complexity. I work conceptually, with ideas as a starting point- choosing a medium which suits the ideas as well as my process and intensions. My methods might very well be simple or low- tech, but the result on the other hand ending up complex or mysterious.
I have an specific interest in notions of existentialism and what it means to be alive. From intriguing elements of chance and synchronicity involved in life`s journey to it`s often absurdity and randomness of it`s course.
