The Chrysotoxum is a type of hoverfly species that looks like a wasp. Through this masquerade these hoverflies benefit from the status of what they imitate.
But how would the wasp, in turn, see the Chrysotoxum?
In human culture we copy and mimic each other the same way as these insects do. Such imitations are the conceptual starting point of this project. The (re)presentation of the otheris related to the (re)presentation of theself.
In this project representations are fused with what they represent,
and times, cultures and meanings are interlinked. This resulted in a series of works referring to the complexity of the formation of cultural identities,
to interaction and exchange, globalization, copying behavior and processes of hybridization that are specific to each culture.
