My artistic practice is based on photographic image and its represantative functions, the subjects mostly center on the gesture of displaying. Hence, my works often refer to the mediation of knowledge, culture and the context of science, while they deal with mundane topics. The examination of the trivial opens wider contexts of historic, economic and social conditions that shape our present. In this context everyday objects, cultural practices, language and artifacts in a wider sense serve as proxies for abstract concepts of culture and identity. In order to turn those interrelations perceptible for the viewer my works make use of the photographic image and its documentary and staging qualities as equal and concurrent layers. While media-reflexive aspects remain underlying, my work is rather about providing space for enquiries than trying to give answers through claims to reality. By creating frames of references using both still and moving images my site-specific installations, video works and books try to question our concepts of reality as constructs of a binary and hierarchic system. Arranging but also broading those networks of connotations, my works implement spatial and temporal aspects, sound, text and materials.

I like to think of my works as photographic spaces that create alternative possibilities of reality by questioning the viewer’s visual mind set. Thus, my work deals with our relation towards the photographic image, the depicted and its perception.
