artist statement
My art practice is centered on a database composed of photographs, videos and sounds collected from my personal experiences. The personal database evolves as time is passing by; some data are lost while others are found. Using randomness as a mode of presentation, the work builds meaning through a fortuitous web of significations, a network of relations between the work's many components and the imagination, sensitivity and memory of each individual viewer. My installation , which can be experienced metaphorically as a walk, unfolds in a poetic narration, a contemplative wandering. The beauty of the collection is found in the imperfections, the fleeting moments and the fragments. Images from daily life come together with self-portraits, bestiaries and images of architecture creating a composite constellation, which, just as it destabilizes, nourishes the poetic resonance of the work.
