In my artistic practice I question the myth of ourselves as autonomous beings.

How can the nature-culture divide be transformed into nature-culture entanglements?

My investigations are about orienting oneself in a time of extremely large and rapid changes. And the importance of seeking the connections between cause and effect, the consequences of more than human relationships, the complexity of being in symbiosis, being anchored in the environment in which we are involved.

I work conceptually. With the help of video, sound and installations, I try to make our complex relationships visible in investigative, cross-border and site-specific narratives.

I’m convinced that different fields of knowledge needs to come together to address the issues we have to deal with.
