My general artistic interest lies in project-related researches on signifiers like film/video/images/symbols as subjective controlled conveyable instruments. Contextual and narrative structures are reorganized in order to investigate the underlying means of interest. The emphasis is put on the deconstruction and reconstruction of meaning in a predetermined or institutionalized context where I explore the relationship between politics, economy and art.
