Artist’s statement
Guided by the principles of transformation and interaction, I transform and transcend objects and habits of everyday life. Objects, clothes, accessories created or processed and reused are the echoes the perpetual cycle of life, which is constantly changing.
Apart from inviting you to my facilities, my works in progress, my performances or my “ceremonies”, I use also photography and video as medium for a fictional demarche, which is illustrated by the staging of “myself” with irony and poetry.
The Trace of a dehumanized society and the loss of contact with nature are the “backdrops” of these “mises en abyme” that focus on the fragility and limitations of interaction with “the Other”.
