My practice focuses on sculpture, installation, moving image, sound, and virtual technology.
I always try to approach my projects in a multidimensional way and delve into a specific theme. In the works, the medium, material and technical framework conditions are systematically revealed and scrutinised. I believe that in most cases the subject matter also determines the medium - therefore I use different genres and build a mesh from them to create a hybrid installation. In my artistic practice, I seek to explore and reflect on the intertwining of the human and the virtual reality, focussing on issues of media, materiality, transformative processes and hybridity. Thematically, my work has always been based on corporeal behaviour, personal experience, current culture, and historical culture. Always wondering about identity, I try to explore the inner world by peeling off the exterior through contemporary means.
