I want to experience what it means to be conscious. I want to feel present and connected.

​

My work explores how the more connected we get, the more disconnected we become. I do that by creating videoperformances filmed ninety seconds at a time, a single frame held on the breath, without a tripod, and by building objects, assemblages and installations out of resin, polycarbonate, light, repurposed objects, and the screens we all touched for years and threw away. I take the work into public spaces, where what is public becomes private and what is private becomes public.
