Our daily lives conceal a whole range of absurd and grotesque objects, images and situations, which become fixed in our minds, often without our realising it. In transforming them in the form of photographs, videos or objects from the everyday into a new, artistic context, I attempt to bring out their absurdity. Through this type of transformation and deliberate manipulation, the viewer is made aware once again of these objects and their grotesque elements.
Often I use the human body as a starting point. I use the body because we confront it every day; we define ourselves through our bodies; it is what the outside world sees of us and it is constantly changing.
I work primarily in video as most of my ideas are based on moving images. Using digital techniques enables me to process and alter the material in many different ways. I work with a combination of photographs, videos and 3-D material.
Often the video is connected to another piece of work, for example one or more objects or other videos. In this way I develop from a video to an installation which fills the room.
As a rule I work simultaneously on several projects which for me are interconnected.
My work contains references to contemporary and future society and I develop theories which I present to the viewer. My aim is to bring together absurdity and the credibility of the theory, playing with fascination, revulsion and curiosity.
