I’m a visual artist and researcher working with photography, film, sculpture and text.
Dimensions of time play an important role in my projects. In line with this, a key theme in my work includes the desire to gain an understanding, in the broadest sense, of the transhistorical variability of image-making.
My works begin with a documentary approach. By means of artistic research the projects usually result in a number of works using various media, and with an emphasis on photography. Despite departing from documentary material, in the final works fact and fiction are interchanged and I (deliberately) let them come at odds with one another.
A historical narrative is often the starting point of my projects. Such a story should have a recognizable link with the current zeitgeist. I question my subject by taking images and contrasting them with one another with the aim to deconstruct the processes surrounding image-making.
Using this method I pose one central question: In what ways and to what extent do (imaginary) representations of the future and the past influence our worldview
