Statement

It is the idea of something, the idea of how something has to be or may be, that sometimes prevent us from really seeing what IS. We only see what coincides with our experiences. In my conceptual work, I focus on the non-visible, the emotional, the psychological, in order to approach real circumstances. The concept as an orientation of my sensors, as a filter between me and the world, as a construction aid, as a dissection instrument. In a way, my works are very precise, clear and demanding. In another way, they are a constructivist formation that first emerges in my head and then in the form of images and installations poses questions, irritates, stands in the way. My largely staged and constructed visual worlds revolve around themes such as security, control, isolation and latent emotional states. The current focus of my artistic research is the search for meaning, the desire to expand consciousness and spirituality as tendencies of a Western reality. I am fascinated by the visualization of immediate state experiences through spontaneous stagings of people and things. Combined with aspects of silence and timelessness, my images as visual constructions explore the invisible border space between the inner and outer world and tell of perception and experience at the border between self and world.
