I work with installation, performance and soundart.
My art emphasize simplicity and the absurdity. It is careful arrangement of its elements, much like a writing a poem.
It’s not about making something new or extravagant but about uncovering meaning in what is already there, allowing the work to emerge naturally from the environment and materials.
Practice is about seeing the familiar in an unfamiliar way, giving space to the small moments that often go unnoticed.
O: You’ve mentioned before that you see your work as like cooking a new recipe. Can you tell me more about that analogy?
I: Yes, that’s a my way to describe it. It’s like combining ingredients in a way I’ve never tried before, then tasting the result. I’m interested in the taste of something unfamiliar, something that might not fit straight into our rational understanding. It’s about creating something that might push us beyond what we can immediately grasp—just for a moment, a break from the rational, a brief step into the nonsense, or abstract, it depends how you want to call it.
O: So, in a way, you’re trying to create a moments where the usual rules of understanding don’t apply?
I: Yes and no. Each work is like an unfolding process, a catalyst for contemplation. I would like to see those as a moments as where time slows down and awareness has the chance to emerge, (it might not). The hope is that, they might inspire the audiance to observe the ordinary in their daily lives in a more subtle way. By this I mean sensing, a practice of listening or watching.
O: It sounds like you’re asking us to reconsider our everyday experiences. What do you think we miss in the rush of our daily lives?
I: I dont want to say that we miss something but we tend to move so quickly. We often don’t stop to truly notice what’s around us. The things we experience are what we experience—we see what we see, but can we truly say what any of it is? That’s what interests me—the idea that there are layers what we might be missing, or there is absolutely nothing more or else. There’s so much in the world that we don’t fully understand, and that’s where I want to direct attention. The realization of not knowing.
For example, the moment when somebody aks you something in a language that you dont understand and it makes you feel suprised, confused, maybe little stupid. There it is.
The things we encounter every day are full of potential, but we have to stop, observe, and let them reveal themselves as they are. Like that, I collect bits and pieces here and there. Then I try them together or separately or alone.
