 YOU | ME

   ME | YOU

 

My voice would not exist without yours; therefore the dialogue between the other and myself is at the heart of my research and practice. In this dialogue it is your interpretation that fascinates me.

What makes us think different, for example, about the boundaries of relationships? Can a person and a house have a relationship? Or how do clichés influence our perception of a friendship? Those questions in relation to our personal history, the place and time we grow-up in and the cultures we live in, is what makes me wonder.

From a personal and/or side-specific starting point, and with a metaphorical approach, I’m using still and moving images combined with text or audio. I like to represent the dialogue within the work itself so it will always be dynamic and open for interpretation.
