As a child, and still to this day I am deeply fascinated with explosions. Since he was very little, my father has produced a serious amount of bombs. He would make small explosions in the school yard, on top of his teachers cars, blowing up mailboxes and trashcans, and accidentally sat fire to himself. Later in his life he started experimenting with blowing up telephone boxes and sheds. He would continue this practice throughout adulthood, and growing up has therefore for me involved a series of nerve-racking events. The first time I saw a terrorist attack on the television I was 4 years old. I was sitting in our black leather sofa, when they showed a recording of a bomb exploding from within a concrete building, resulting in its total collapse. With joy, I was jumping up and down clapping my hands laughing and cheering.
My most recent work engages with notions of transgression, piracy and surveillance. I am interested in exploring the subjects understanding of agency and placement in the world, politics of bodies and their control, in non human as well as technological spheres.
I like to work in collaboration with others, and have done so for some time. My practice switches in and out of modes and methodologies. I often navigate perceptual boundaries through participatory performance, installation, painting and video.
