Artist statement

Central questions of my work concern the concepts of institutional and hierarchical critique, the infiltration of systems, as well as the questioning of standards, regulations and role concepts.

My work is often based on thorough research. The outcome finds it’s form in all kind of media, as photography, video, performative and installation elements.

In a humorous manner I question well established power structures and reveal the characteristics of the art world.
