About work
I work on installation with moving objects. Movement is for me an esthetical element. I address velocity, time structure and emotional quality,
looking for the instable points in the small systems I create. Simple self-made instruments are played by motors or machines.
The playing is often a short impulse or touch, which causes the instrument to start its specific movement and oscillation.
There is an amount of electronic directing the machines from outside, but more important are the interactions.
Numerous events take place at random caused by the irregularity of my objects.
The disturbance and abilities of development within a structure is more interesting to me then their static order.
The coinciding of motions is sometimes not directly perceptible, but in the long run, arises a sensibility for the hidden logic of the system.
