When something feels good, when something seems attractive, and when something changes human and social behavior, it immediately becomes the target of my observations.
But since I can only explain very few of my observations logically, I have to pursue them differently. So I try to recognize, to pick up, to reproduce or to distort the phenomena connected with them. In the process, real objects or my own drawings are transformed into a digital form, and ideas in the digital influence my understanding of the physical world.
This reciprocal transformation, reverses the boundaries of the expected and the expected, of desire and rejection, of desire and reality, individual and society.
A parallel world emerges in which something familiar is suddenly completely different, a context long believed to be developed must be questioned again. I understand my work as an invitation into this world of 3D scans, videos, animations, collages, drawings and participatory actions; in which I form a sense of social contexts and the dynamics of our environment.
