About
It is the intention of my artwork to find a place between real and imaginary. Through experimental and subversive working processes and techniques (such as wandering and cameraless photography) my photographs are distorted visions of reality and evoke more than they show. Chance is provoked through a constant openness to the new and playfull experimentation, and the find it's assimilated and transformed throught the creative process. In my practice I engage with notions of space, time, the known and the uncertain.
Moved by real and fictional wanderlust, I set out on journeys without defined destination. Each walk is a meditation on sites explored and sights encountered mediated through the passage of time. In the act of walking I can decide my moves and control my own rhythms, subverting power structures as well as the modernist and capitalist logic of space.
At the fingertips of an organic and digital process, I often produce scannograms of objects found in these journeys. The scan is an index of a unique object and an indexical trace of the walk. A trace of the scanned object but also of the scanned landscape, my work echoes the situational derive and other practices engaging with wandering and urban space.
A walk between history and present, perhaps with nostalgic or timeless undertones, my work also reflects on personal and collective loss and creates poetic, distorted visions of reality and disappearing traditions
