I read spatial contexts as traces and symptoms of broader social, political, and intimate relations. I begin with specific sites and documentary research, but I do not treat the document as neutral evidence of reality. I dismantle and abstract it, combining it with fiction, authorial text, and the editing of moving images and sound to destabilize fixed meanings of place and open them to different readings.
I work primarily with video, spatial sound, and text. In my installations, these media do not illustrate one another; they collide, complement one another, and produce new relationships. A site is not a backdrop for the work but its active material. Image, sound, architecture, and the viewer’s movement shape temporary zones of experience in which the work is both observed and physically encountered.
I am interested in tensions between the intimate and the political, past and present, belonging and displacement, safety and control. I do not attempt to resolve them or reduce them to a single message. My intention is to disrupt established perceptions of the spaces that preoccupy me. Houses and homes, coastlines and border zones, industrial ruins, landscapes, waters, and horizons become sites where the histories of place intersect with subjective experiences of labor, trauma, hope, fear, and freedom.
