ABOUT THE INSTALLATION (art in residence)

My work refers to what archeologists and anthropologists consider a clear sign of an organized society: architectural space.

It is human to shape specific spaces based on personal desires; it is a universal need.

Architects are bound by hand and foot by clients, patrons, restrictions, and functional requirements.

My spaces, however, are free from architectural conventions and are not designed for a fixed function.

I create them to evoke an extraordinary and entirely new spatial experience, but also an emotional and spatial one.

Using various media, such as drawings, wall drawings, photographs, and models, I realize concepts for architectural spaces and objects.

The German language has a fitting description for this art form: “Raumskulptur.”

As well, from my drawings and other mediums, based on memories and experience of my life, I follow my intuition and try to free myself from rational thinking. I believe my work does not need a broad explanation.

People are free to interpret it in their own way.
