Artist statement
I reimagine and respond to various situations such as those related to non-places, urban fabric, post-communist urban space, and "baffling realities" with mediums including videos and photos.
Non-places are non-relational, non-historical, non-identity related, and built for transit purpose, according to French anthropologist Marc Augé.
In addition, I create shared-experiences by involving people—both artists and non-artists—as equal collaborators in participatory projects to demonstrate that art is an experience rather than just an object for viewing.
Previously I had a focus on non-places and urban fabric in my practice while calling myself a flaneur artist. But I also started in recent years to reimagine and create responses—sometimes subtle ones—to some "baffling realities" that might be dangerous to talk about too explicitly.
While venturing outside my past focus, I still adopt a flaneur's approach in my art practice—observing what's out there, reflecting on chosen observations, exploring how I can respond, and making my responses.
