I?m a graphic artist at heart.
Admittedly, not in the usual way… Rather, I?m an employer of graphic means: by cutting and combining and superimposing different images, I endeavour to breathe new meaning into them. In their new-found constellations, the images enable us to access previously unfamiliar glimpses of the world as we do not yet know it.

I also employ the so-called “new media” in my work. The result of my research finds expression in the form of installations, photos, videos, pictures and writings on the wall or works of art working with the wall or the space around and in them.
My work is unpredictable, but almost always incorporates an undeniable reference to its immediate surroundings through its realisation.
