​
I am a real loser. In a world of unoverseeable systems an consequences, I lost control. In the borders of my living space, I lost my sense of reality. I use losing, however, as a means to find clarity. I am pro-actively trying to get lost, just to see what I can hold onto, to chose the signposts and harbingers of my reality. This provides me with serendipitous encounters and fairytale-like moments that I weave into stories. I use art to tell these stories, I use art as my account of time.
​

Through video, installation, painting and writing I explore the strangeness of reality. My fascination for creating art lies at the constructed nature of reality – be it constructed by me or outside forces – and the uncanniness it can bring. I often don't feel like I am an artist, rather that I am pretending to be one. It's a form of distancing and alienating towards my artisthood, which paradoxically allows me to narrate and perform more freely. It allows me to perform artistic agency.
