Artist Statement 2026
Inspired by historical and urban changes, I examine how images reflect on the current geopolitical and ecological challenges. More specifically, I analyze and decontextualize film archives, found footage, TV-reels, or other similar visual elements depicting particular locations or architectural phenomena. Once I collect the material, I establish new connections and propose new audiovisual and spatial arrangements. By developing such methodologies aiming at a re-activation of lost, forgotten, or forbidden archives through space, film, and montage, I describe myself as an architectivist.

In addition to my research-based practice, I question as well interpersonal relationships as contemporary dilemmas through introspective (self-)irony, wordplay, or even dry humor. By including such apparently optimistic or amusing features, I create unexpected distortions of concepts and impressions. Being an active polyglot, my artistic process is also shaped by words, their meanings, and mis/interpretations. My structuralist approach consists of selecting, organizing, and assembling letters with sounds, voices with tones, and images with colors, shapes, and rhythms. Ultimately, I expose a series of pleasant yet provocative cognitive dissonances through poems and essays, digital and analog collage, musical and visual loops.
