Artist Statement

I perceive the world as a single organism where everything is interconnected. Like a tree with many trunks and roots or a large mycelium with countless hyphae. And one flows into another softly. In my artistic practice, I want to identify as many of these surprising connections in everyday life as possible and enter the territory of the strange and understudied, where familiar patterns break down and take on other meanings.

I am interested in the human being from an anthropological point of view. His sensory experience, the peculiarities of psyche and memory. Also, interaction with other species. Not from the position of anthropocentrism, but on a par with them.

In my projects, I often address the ecological agenda. I not only expose the traces of man in nature. But also I try to find ways of recuperation of the lost connection between man and the environment. My interest in this topic stems from the place where I was born and grew up. A small town and a house next to a protected forest have fostered in me a reverent attitude towards nature. Dialogue plays a key role for me as a way of building new relationships with space.

My dominant mediums are photography, text, digital collages and art objects. The idea is primary for me. The methods I use are observation, research and experimentation. I strive for a concept to unfold through a bundle of mediums and methods. This allows for the creation of voluminous statements that can take the viewer away from the linearity of perception.
