THE ARTIST DIES IN ART | SELF PORTRAIT

In the video ‘The Artist Dies in Art’, within an existentialist philosophical vision, the perfor-mer problematises the relationship with Being and Art, taking up the Greek metaphysical origins. The investigation of Being, within the performer’s poetics, is the very search for Art, for the Self and the I in Art. In this light, the golden […]

MicroMacro (Motorized vs Handheld)

MicroMacro (or Motorized vs Handheld) examines the fragile threshold between perception and scale, between the mechanical eye and the human hand. Filmed entirely by the artist in remote regions of northern Iceland, the work moves between two contrasting modes of seeing and experiencing: the expansive reach of aerial drone footage and the intimate, unstable proximity […]

Calling From Work

In Calling From Work, I call my parents while taking a walk. During a three-month stay in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, I would call my parents once a week. When we speak, they often have no idea where I am, but I know exactly where they are at the time of the call: in the living room, […]

From the Womb

I told my dreams to Artificial Intelligence… Little by little, a common language was created at the border where my unconscious met the digital unconscious. If it is true that “the archetype is the imaginative pattern of the collective unconscious” (Carl Gustav Jung), it could also be true that a parallel unconscious is emerging as […]

ANIMA

ANIMA – Synopsis In a world stripped of noses and mouths, breath and voice have vanished, and memory dissolves into silence. A child drifts through shifting visions—between monochrome and color, where faces, flowers, and towering figures transform like living symbols.

In this performed film, I question the significant […]
