The house that I am building is a collection of poems about the everyday. Each image and installation I create are poems—not of words but of experiences. 

My practice tries to illustrate the functioning of my life in a world dissected, invaded and understood through modern technology. In such a world, past, present, and future collapse into an unrepresentable now. Even more so in such an understanding, the world and the body are continuous and unseparated: everything is everything. Still, because the human psyche is overdetermined by words, and this psyche is our only window to the world, language becomes the divisive theater stage where perception and matter battle for the agency of creation. Such a triangular dance of language, perception, and matter is my life, and the world I try to illustrate.

By subverting the typical way of presenting the moving image, the installation is revealed as a space where the apparatus of cinema is expanded beyond the realms of language and idea into a space of theater and dance where its main subjects, technology and society, are experienced and understood by the body as well.


Bio: The silence of the universe is deeper than space’s, it announces a purposeless and meaningless structure. Every apple forever and always will fall from the tree by law. Don’t fool yourself: every breath announces a break, a fall eternally late. The rebellion of the apple, of fire, of meaning, of pain. It announces evolution’s mistake. Your head is a place, where things happen. Consciousness and thought pass through uninvited. Your body is no horizon or container. Inside and outside is an illusion. Everything is continuous and the same. Until you put it in words.
