About Me

..
I use art as a medium to explore the concepts of Identity and non-Identity, position and non-position, and foremost: I'm fascinated by what lies beyond the Gap in life (mouth of the primordial abbys which dissolves all identity) and the multiplicity of phenomena within Culture, which envelop this Gap in relation to the axes of "fear/time/-anti" , "anxiety/time/Time" and the wheel-work "Time, anti-Time".
I question, I examine.
To me, the question is of more importance then the answer. When the question results in an answer, I like to tear the answer open, creating new questions. I have difficulty to accept definite constructions (such as theories, criteria, images, etc...) and mistrust strivings who have this as a goal, for they lead towards the gaze of the Medusa.
I experiment with different disciplines such as drawing, painting, performance and and bodyworks.
Below are some boxes with slideshows, in which you can see a selection of some works.
"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
"Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise. " Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's all." Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Sketches and some more works:
"I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir, because I'm not myself you see." Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
