artistiek onderzoek - beeldhouwen - installatie - video

In my creative process, I work with video art, sculpture, and drawing. I see the mediums as a window into direct intuitive activity which transcends thinking and language.
My works are produced as a distorted mechanism, rich in imagination, desires, and fears, and often combine simple mechanics from day to day into a moment with its own logic.
The works echo existential experiences between the tragic and the comic, experiences that are broken and defective, monotonous, and yet full of joy.

    • The incubator project aims to connect 10 selected artists ad designers, and provide them with a platform for testing and deepening their work practices. The group began to coalesce through meetings with curators, artists, lecturers and professionals from the fields of art and design. Participants were invited to investigate the concept of “truth,” an inquiry that spurred them to explore different modes of action, from the contemplative, to the material.

    • A trio exhibition of my studio partners and I. The unique conversations orbiting around that shared space have led to the synergism of our materials. Common to all presented was an unyielding resistance to matter, an aspiration to turn the material "against itself" and violate it, thus giving rise to novelty, disruptions, and physical mutations, which in turn allow the evolution of sculpture – as body and space.

    Tentoonstelling / presentatie

    • Locatie: CDA Holon,
    • My work has been presented in this multidisciplinary event, in the spirit and inspiration of Uri Katzenstein on the third anniversary of his death. Katzenstein was a radical artist known for his unique and uncompromising approach to performance, sound, video, and sculpture. In his work, he often explored the human essence in the world, its abnormalities, and the presence of the body in its wounds and disruptions.
