Change happens first in the imagination
- Brian Holmes

You know, I never went to Italy, so I had to write a song about it to know it
- Boris Vian

Irrational approaches may open up interesting roads.

I work as artist and curator, and sometimes I find myself writing.
I use art as a means of investigation and as a way to enter into a conversation.
These investigations and conversations may result in works such as installations, events, performancelectures, texts.
As I am interested in finding out what the world looks like to others, most of my works involve close collaborations. Often, they seek to combine vastly different perspectives.

What do we need in order to feel like we own our lives, knowledge, and environment? How to connect realities which, at first glance, appear vastly different from each other?
These are questions I keep returning to. Looking into them and playing with them yields works and stories ranging from tragic & absurd to sugarsweet.
