Works - Performance & interventions

Art and life are directly connected, and yes, they complement each other. From observations of the quotidian, especially those in the public space, I extract insights through experimenting and researching which I then transform into artistic shape. What takes form in art does not only stimulate but significantly shape public discourse. I deliberately chose situations that appear uncomfortable at first. Dark corners, draughty gaps, and yes, discuss- ing the 'in-between-ness' of place and non- place is one of my concerns. Often through site-specific interventions, through performa- tive actions I detect the 'lostness' in such places. I always look for what's present, there- fore work from the construction to display the inherent potential of such a place and also readily activate it in participative moments. To make as much as possible with as little as necessary - make visible, make perceptible - is the aim of my artistic practise.
