Statement

I nurture my artistic work through long stays in the rough and lonely nature. In search of images and film material I travel to arctic Lapland, Scotland and Ireland and often to remote small islands. I wander uninhabited and barren areas to find inspiration for my artistic work. I usually do this in bad weather, because I am attracted by the mysterious and powerful aspects of these atmospheric moods. When the sun is shining, however, I usually have the day off. My connection to remote areas has resulted in a series of works that always break down the boundaries between film and photography as well as between representational and non-representational. Observing attentively, I investigate places that are not accessible by their basic nature or qua definition, thus exploring the inexplicable longing for the unknown that sometimes captures people. I create works in which the boundaries between the real and imagined world become blurred. We are entering an uncertain terrain where our perception is always questioned.
